From several emails on the list and my own issues, it appears that 
server.xml is not utilized when running JBoss and Catalina 
together.  EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX constructs the minimum hierarchy of 
objects Catalina requires and then provides createWebContext() to 
performDeploy() on a .war via the JBoss hot-deploy feature.  Now if I 
wanted to utilize some of the other valves Catalina provides and/or create 
my own, would I have to modify EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX, thus creating my 
own version, and its corresponding MBean interface?  Is this what I am 
supposed to do?

In particular, I want to use the SingleSignOn valve, the FormAuthenticator 
valve, and the AccessLogValve valve.  Scott Stark had laid out the security 
framework in his JavaWorld article.  JBossSecurityMgrRealm provides the 
integration with Catalina.  It is the Catalina realm of which a 
userId/password or credentials would be requested.  However, unless I am 
missing something, the servlet component for popping up a web page to 
acquire a userId/password and determining if the session needs to be 
authenticated is not addressed.  So it seem that these would be good 
components to reuse, no?  Are these valve's functions provided in another 
way by the JBoss security framework?

If this would be a common enough need, I can attempt to design something 
that would support both the JBoss security architecture, and adding 
Catalina valve components via the MBean interface.  Thank you for the advice.
