I'm with you on this request. I'm currently just serving static content with Tomcat, but luckily the traffic for this content is low.
It seems this would require an Apache mod that integrated with the Tomcat Realm system, at least requiring Apache authentication and module building knowledge as well as some method of integrating with Tomcat through that mod. I, unfortunately, do not have the time to research and build such a module :( > -----Original Message----- > From: Mete Kural [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 2:21 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: JDBCRealm w/ Apache, How to??? > > Hi, > > I am perplexed at this interesting problem.
