How about binding the UserManager singleton in JNDI? This is what I did
and it allows access from anywhere. I use a servlet to setup the
infrastructure and one of it's responsibilities is to bind the
UserManager with some parameters from web.xml. Hope this helps.

Hi!
I want to implement my own class for providing user
and role authentication. The problem is, that I would
like to make a kind of UserManager which is stored in
the ServletContext, but have no access to the
ServletContext in
allaire.jrun.security.AuthenticationInterface:
init(allaire.jrun.security.OrderedProperties props)
authenticate(allaire.jrun.security.HttpServletRequest req,
java.lang.String username, java.lang.String method,
java.lang.String credentials)
I could make a static UserManager (singleton), but I
would prefer not to have static variables in my Servlets
(because this would mean no access to web.xml, global
variable to the whole JVM, etc.).
Is there a way to access the ServletContext from an
AuthenticationInterface implementation or any other way
to avoid a static variable?
TIA
Bernhard
