Sounds like you need application logic to do this - probably in conjunction with using Tomcat's Container Managed Authentication (CMA).
Tomcat can validate the username against a database (see JDBCRealm at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html#JDBCRea lm ). However after being authenticated you can issue request.getRemoteUser(); to determine which user logged in. Then you can control how their database queries are issued.
