I've been successful in creating a custom JDBCRealm and have extended the GenericPrincipal. However, when attempting to pull my principal from the request (request.getUserPrincipal()) and cast to EITHER org.apache.catalina.realm.GenericPrincipal or my custom principal, I get a Class Cast Exception. I've browsed through the archives for a solution and the closest I've found has been the one located at the following URL:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg40073.html However, the solution seems a bit nastly. Does anyone know of other options aside from copying classes to multiple paths or overriding the Catalina classpath?? Many thanks.
