Ellen,
I apologize for the lack of attention (or even response) to your
submission -- it's on my list of things to look at, but got pushed by "day
job" priorities (as the number of bug fixes I've done lately indicates,
Sun is doing some pretty hefty internal testing of Tomcat 4.0 :-).
You've covered a couple of use cases that the current JNDIRealm doesn't
yet, that I'd like to see us merge those in.
