Cool! I love Tomcat! What about in Tomcat 3? (We are using 3.2.2 in production right now.)

They are arranged hierarchically, depending on where you put the <Realm> element. This can be nested inside the <Engine>, <Host>, or <Context>. The rule Tomcat 4 uses to find the right realm is: * Use the <Realm> nested inside my <Context>, if any; else * Use the <Realm> nested inside my <Host>, if any; else * Use the <Realm> nested inside my <Engine>. You will note in the default server.xml file, the <Realm> is nested inside the <Engine>. This is what makes it global to all web applications across all virtual hosts. If you want a different one for a particular host or context, just nest your own <Realm> implementaiton inside. > If that is true, probably, I can implement a customized realm as the > backdoor. > Yah, if you want roles support as well, this is probably your best bet. > -Jerry Fang > Craig -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
