Hey,

I'm developing an application that will use realms to authenticate users. I
have two issues I'd like to get opinions on. I couldn't find anything
similar in the archives dealing with this.

Firstly I would like the ability to use different realms in the application.
So the user can choose which particular data source they want to use in the
system. This should be reasonably easy to do with a decent application
architecture, but I was wondering if there was anything like this out there
already. A piece of software that will allow an administrator to effectively
swap between different realms for their application. Web-based would be
preferred, but if not, something that could be adapted.

And secondly, certain parts of my application will need to be able to access
data from the realm authentication source. e.g I may want a list of all
users in the system from the same source the realm is using for
authentication. Is it possible to do this from the realm classes ? Going
through the javaDoc, it doesn't appear to be. If not, what do people think
is the best solution. I'd prefer to not have to go about re-inventing the
wheel and it would seem logical enough to be able to reuse the realm classes
somehow in this context. Any ideas, or opinions ?

Thanks very much,
Gavin
