JAAS is not explicitly supported by tomcat. JAAS was only available
from JDK 1.3, supplied as an extension. JAAS is now merged into JDK1.4
but there is no explicit support for JAAS in the servlet API spec 2.3
although JAAS is graudually gaining momentum. There has to be some
reworking to the servlet spec (as well as EJB) to support the concept of
multiple Principals and the JAAS Subject.

Yes, it is easy enough to write a JAAS Realm, just like SimpleRealm and
JDBC Realm.
