Hi
I had a similar question a while back and never really got it fully
resolved, but I found that Tomcat doesn't save the subject as a session
attribute.
However in your case you don't need to access the subject. In the web.xml
file for your app, you can define what roles have access to each resource
(jsp, servlet) and have your JAAS login module assign these roles to the
subject - i.e. container managed security.
e.g. add to web.xml (gives access to logins with role "user" to all of your
application):
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>myApplication</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-role>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</security-role>
see the tomcat docs for more info
