A Realm is just a DAO class used by Authenticator valves. The idea is that a Realm can be shared between web applications (by placing it at the Host or Engine level). If you want access to the request, you should implement an Authenticator. There have been some discussions on changing APIs of Authenticators and Realms to be more friendly for extension, but nobody came up with a specific idea.
