I am trying to configure form based authentication using a JDBCRealm. I do not have access to the $CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed folder or server.xml file as my webapp is hosted in a shared environment by an ISP. Therefore I have created a Context configuration xml file fragment to provide the required Realm implementation settings/attributes for Tomcat to load from my root folder at start-up.
The problem I am experiencing is that because I am not permitted to access the $CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed folder I am unable to put the Driver jar (mysql-connector-java-3.0.7-stable-bin.jar) in the container classpath. Attempts to get the container to detect the Driver in the Context classpath (/WEB-INF/lib) of my webapp have proved futile (or so it seems). As a result Tomcat does not recognize the login form action 'j_security_check' when the form is posted, presumably because the driver required to look-up user credentials was not loaded/located in the first place. Can anyone advise of a work-around, or let me know if I have overlooked something, or am I simply snookered...?
