There is nothing wrong doing this.

Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] JBoss 2.2: Servlet Authentication against JBoss realms. How ?
All,
Having run into this same issue myself, I am wondering about the feasibility of
developing a JBossRealm (or similiar) for Tomcat
that actually authenticates against the JBoss security configuration. It seems to me
that this would actually then be "integrated"
security, versus the dual configuration that is needed now. For instance, SimpleRealm
or JDBC Realm would no longer be needed.
Their functionality would be replaced by a JBossRealm (or JBossRealmAuthenticate)
module that authenticates the user in Tomcat. One
huge advantage to this approach would be that we would be able to use any JBoss
security configuration (which is nice and
extensible) from Tomcat, versus just the JDBC and XML file capabilities currently
available in Tomcat.
Is there something fundamental that is preventing this from working, or that makes it
a bad idea?
Thanks,
Scott
