DataSourceRealm cannot see JNDI DataSource defined within a Context





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-11-10 07:17 -------
That's precisely the problem: DataSourceRealm does *not* see any Container
DataSources: it only sees ones defined as global resources.

It seems logical that if I define a "jdbc/UserDB" DataSource in a Host, the
Realm defined in that Host or any Container underneath it should see that
JNDI-exposed resource.

I think the assertion that a Realm isn't usually defined in a Context is
erronious.  I do it.  And it's useful to define a Realm on a per-context basis,
allowing you to run applications with wildly divergent authentication
requirements under a single Tomcat instance.  And allowing Realm under a Context
(as Tomcat currently does) makes deployment of a turn-key application easier:
just drop the Context XML fragment in the webapps directory and be done, no
meddling in the server.xml.  This sort of modularity is very desireable.
