Realm implementations need to be placed into server/lib (or server/classes)

It can't be in WEB-INF because of classloader security.

It can't be in common/lib because it the realm needs stuff in server/lib (usually)

But if you make privledged=true (bad idea usually) - you might be able to keep your Realm in WEB-INF

Hi there,

How do I create my own custom realm and plug it into
Tomcat for my web application? I created CustomRealm
that implements Realm. But when I added a <realm>
element in my context.xml and loaded up my
application, it complained that CustomRealm could not
be found (ClassNotFoundException).


My CustomRealm class is in my <app>/WEB-INF/classes
directory so I'm sure (as far as my application is
concerned) that the class is in the proper classpath. I also placed the file in tomcat.home/common/lib but
the error still persists.


Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, I'm using Tomcat 4.1.24
