Hi,
I have some specific requirements for security and I have been trying to
right a custom realm, that reads information from the database.
1. I have added a datasource in the global naming resources section in the
server.xml
2. I have packaged the realm class in a JAR file and copied it the server
lib
3. I have included a context.xml in the WAR META-INF, that declares the
realm from (2)
In the constructor of the realm class, I try to look up the datasource,
1. If I use new InitialContext().lookup, I get a name not found exception.
2. If I try to get the global naming context, by calling getServer from
RealBase, getServer returns a null reference.
This is the entry in server.xml
<Resource name="MyDS"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.211.55.7:1521:xe"
username="meeraj"
password="password"
maxTotal="20"
maxIdle="10"
maxWaitMillis="-1"
accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed="true"/>
This is the entry in the context.xml
<Realm className="com.ss.security.provider.DatabaseRealm" digest="SHA1"/>
This is the constructor of the Realm class
public DatabaseRealm() throws NamingException {
Context context = null;
try {
context = new InitialContext();
template = new SimpleJdbcTemplate((DataSource)
context.lookup("MyDS"));
} finally {
if (context != null) context.close();
}
}
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks
