public void AuthenticatorBase.doLogin(request, response, principal)

[Ken Johanson]

Dear tomcat internals experts;

I'm taking a shot at prototyping a new method (yet untested) within 
org.apache.cataline.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase:

public void doLogin(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
response, Principal principal)
{
  register(((CoyoteRequestFacade)request).request, 
((CoyoteResponseFacade)response).response, principal, "FORM", null, null);
}

This is intended to allow a webapp (one with access to the server 
classes) to implicitly register a Principal with a http Session.

The above snippet doesn't compile because HttpRequest and HttpResponse 
are protected fields.. is there a another way to achieve this?

Thanks,
ken
