What if I don't want to use geronimo's security realms. My application

other app servers like weblogic, I used to add the system property

But in geronimo, doing that is not working.
correct. We don't use that style of jaas configuration.
I hope I got my point through. :)
Thanks
PS: the application is already built. We don't want to make major
changes in its working structure.
You should be able to do this without changing your packaged j2ee
application at all. You will need a geronimo deployment plan. What
you need to do is write gbean configurations that set up the
equivalent login module configuration to your example.conf and
include these in your geronimo plan. When you deploy the app with
this plan, the login modules will be properly configured. Aaron
provided some gbean configuration example below although he used a
different realm name than you, something closer to your example would be
<gbean name="ExampleRealm"
class="org.apache.geronimo.security.realm.GenericSecurityRealm">
<attribute name="realmName">example</attribute>
<reference name="ServerInfo">
<name>ServerInfo</name>
</reference>
<reference name="LoginService">
<name>JaasLoginService</name>
</reference>
<xml-reference name="LoginModuleConfiguration">
<login-config
xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/loginconfig-1.1";>
<login-module control-flag="REQUIRED"
server-side="true" wrap-principals="false">
<login-domain-name>example</login-domain-name>
<login-module-class>com.test.DBLoginModule</login-
module-class>
</login-module>
</login-config>
</xml-reference>
</gbean>
This would go as the last element in your geronimo plan. Since I
don't know what kind of app you are deploying (ejb, web, ear, app-
client) I'm not going to guess at what the rest of the plan might
look like.

Subject: Re: Location of JAAS config file
I would change that statement to:
In Geronimo, we don't have use a JAAS conf file. You could instead
declare and deploy security realms using a Geronimo deployment plan,
like many other components.

security
realms, though.
Basically, to create a realm called DatabaseRealm using the JAAS
login
module DBLoginModule and the flag required, you could use a plan like
the one below. Either you can deploy this plan with a JAR containing
the DBLoginModule class, or you could put the login module class in a
JAR in the Geronimo repository and then add a dependency on that JAR
to the environment element in the plan and deploy the plan on its
own.
Another option is to add your security realm (the "gbean" element in
the plan below) directly to the Geronimo plan for a WAR or EAR or
something, and add the login module classes to that component (in
WEB-INF/lib or in an EJB JAR, etc.). That way the realm would always
be deployed and undeployed with that module.
Thanks,
Aaron

Generally in other app servers, I just add the system property,

unable to locate any login modules.
The Error:

for example
File:
