It seems I'm answering my own questions. I poked around a bit more
in the Tomcat/Catalina documentation and found stuff on realms that helped
a bit.

A symbolic link didn't work at all. Makes sense I guess. So I copied the
classes111.jar file from Oracle into the $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib directory.

I added the following to the catalina.policy file:
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/server/-" {
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1521", "connect";
};
And that did it. Next I have to figure out how to seed (for now) my users
table with MD5 passwords. Any help there would be welcome.
