Title: RE: Pointers on JDBCRealms

Related Question

I already have my own authentication/authorization scheme. I would like to be able to fetch my user-object which holds the authorization info by using:

User user = (User)request.getUserPrincipal();

What interface or which class should be overriden to let my authentication class be used by tomcat directly. ie How do I make a acceptable RequestInterceptor.

(On JRun this can be done overriding "allaire.jrun.security.AuthenticationPrincipal", for full explanation see the article "JRun Authentication" by Karl Moss, www.allaire.com)
