I would like to have a jar file in tomcat/lib that can be called from any

I would agree with what the others are saying here. It seems you are
trying to authorize an entire web app instead of authoring the user of the
web app.
If the jar simply needs to take action based on a role of some kind, then
could you not tie in a ldap user with appropriate role?
I do not know either what the ultimate use case of the OP is.
But I could imagine for example some webapps allowing to upload a file, and this jar
containing a "saveFile" method which saves the file to a different server directory,
depending on which webapp called it (but without relying for this on a parameter passed by
the webapp or its configuration, and just relying on the URL having been used to call that
webapp).
(Of course there are other ways to achieve this, but this is just as a non-AAA
example).
Gregory, it may be time to tell us something about what you /really/ want to
achieve here.
