Hi,
I sortof answered my own question, by writing my own Realm to do the trick. But I'm
having some trouble :/
>to override the default. In the realm implementation authenticate() I

> Context ctx = req.getContext();
> String jaasConfigEntry = ctx.getInitParameter(jaasConfigKey);
Interestingly I'm doing something almost exactly like that ... but no matter what
page/context I'm accessing I
appear to be getting the root context from req.getContext() . Any suggestions?
>I'm not sure what you mean by not wanting to write your own logic to

Many in the Great Unwashed Masses seem oblivious to the existance of Tomcat's logon
handling, and write
their own code in JSPs with lots of If...Thens to check if the person is logged on,
and authenticate in their own
way against their own database(s). i.e. not using Realms at all.
Thanks,
Twylite
