//code
Object o = ic.lookup("java:comp/env/users");
System.out.println(o.getClass().getName()); // prints : "org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabase"

doing instanceof tests on the returned object for MemoryUserDatabase & UserDatabase all fail, even though in debug that's clearly what it identifies as.

could this be a security manager thing? I notice that in the tomcat manager deployment descriptor it has privileged="true" in the Context tag. Are only privileged applications allowed access to the UserDatabase? (this would make sense as you could enumerate all users & passwords...)

InitialContext.lookup() gives you a simple object:

so change your code to

Context ic = new InitialContext();
Object o = ic.lookup("java:comp/env/users");

set a breakpoint and see, what type of object you're getting back.
