It seems that context's JDBCRealm does not get hooked into Interceptors
when the context reloads. These are the relevant interceptors first time
around (first three from server.xml, fourth from apps-*.xml):
--------------------------------------------------
Auth interceptor is: org.apache.tomcat.modules.config.PathSetter@ed8b59e
Auth interceptor is:
org.apache.tomcat.modules.config.ServerXmlReader@2c72759e
Auth interceptor is:
org.apache.tomcat.modules.aaa.CredentialsInterceptor@5393359e
Auth interceptor is: org.apache.tomcat.modules.aaa.JDBCRealm@7b08b59d
--------------------------------------------------
and this is after the reload (only the ones from server.xml, the stuff
from apps-*xml didn't show up this time):
--------------------------------------------------
Auth interceptor is: org.apache.tomcat.modules.config.PathSetter@ed8b59e
Auth interceptor is:
org.apache.tomcat.modules.config.ServerXmlReader@2c72759e
Auth interceptor is:
org.apache.tomcat.modules.aaa.CredentialsInterceptor@5393359e
--------------------------------------------------
These things are printed out by me from getRemoteUser() method in
Request.java. Just need to find where those things get hooked and we'll
be laughing...
Just to bounce the validity of it against someone with more experience,
this is my apps-*.xml file:
--------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Server>
<Host name="www.dev.dev">
<Context path="/" docBase="/home/httpd/html/dev.dev">
<JDBCRealm
debug="99"
driverName="org.postgresql.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:postgresql:dev"
connectionName="dev"
connectionPassword="developer"
digest="MD5"
userTable="users"
userNameCol="username"
userCredCol="password"
userRoleTable="usersroles"
roleNameCol="rolename"
/>
</Context>
</Host>
</Server>
--------------------------------------------------
Back to trenches now...
