Hi folks, I am a member of a developer team at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and one of my tasks was to develop a realm for accessing a LDAP server which stores its data in a way that is not conform to your JNDIRealm. No problem so far.
The realm's authenticate function has to return a new instance of GenericPrincipal, but GenericPrincipal is not a public class. This forced me to put our custom realm in package org.apache.catalina.realm, allthough this is a very special class that does not make sense to rest of the world and therefore it should not reside in one of Tomcat's packages. If GenericPrincipal would be public I could use a package name that makes it obvious that our realm is a very custom one. By the way, because of what I had to do JBuilder gets into problems, too. Question: Do you see a chance to make GenericPrincipal a public class in the next release?
