Hey All (Craig particularly)-

Going through the code that exists in 4.1.8, I noticed that in the JAASRealm
comments, Craig makes mention of using classes implementing the Principal
interface to represent Users and Roles.  This sounds like a good approach
given the vagueness surrounding the JAAS implementation once you get into
implementing it.  In the JAASRealm class, there are setters for configuring
the JAASRealm with the names of Principal classes that contain Users and
Roles.  After running a "Find Usages" with IDEA, I wasn't able to find any
code which references these methods.  So, how does the JAASRealm find out
what classes contain users vs. roles?  Is there some kind of magic going on
with the realm config node in server.xml?  I'd like to start using JAAS on
Tomcat since we currently use JAAS for our JRun servers and converting the
existing LoginModules won't be too much of a pain.
