right where you commented out (just below it, for example) the
memoryrealm
Check the comment....

If you want it not shared globally, then you'll need to declare it
'lower' in the chain. The Tomcat docs tell you where you can place it.

yes (or no, if you want this one to serve globally, but your JDBCRealm
to be used more locally).

Through the DTDs and the servlet api. DTD's specifically help you out
with where your elements ought to go, so that when the docs say "just
add this to web.xml", you can use the DTD (either with a validating XML
editor, or by eye) to verify the placement. Also, server.xml has
*plenty* of comments, and is heavily HOW-TO'd in Tomcat docs.

Sorry, can't say. It looks about right, but if I'm doing
container-managed, I usually just do Basic AUTH. (which throws the
OS-based dialog box).
Here is an article I found that is quite good:
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/07/24/tomcat.html
Note it's the 2nd page that starts talking about JDBC Realm
