That's too bad.

Why not just use the built-in authentication and authorization mechanism
instead of trying to use Tomcat's built-in classes to roll your own?

A more flexible option is to use securityfilter
(http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net) to handle everything.
securityfilter allows you to use Tomcat realms by dropping catalina.jar
into your webapp's library directory. Since securityfilter runs entirely
in your webapp, there are no classloading problems (even though Tomcat's
internal classes are used, they are loaded by the webapp's ClassLoader,
and are insulated from Tomcat, so they're safe).
