Thank you, David. Sorry, I sent this message two times, each time only the quoted message was sent, but not my reply. This is another try.
Actually I did read the document you provided the link to. In that document (The Realm Component) the following attributes are listed for the DataSourceRealm: dataSourceName roleNameCol userCredCol userNameCol userRoleTable userTable and I actually used all of them in my first attempted configuration as shown in my original email: First attempt: ++++++++++ I replaced the above-mentioned <Realm> element with the following one, mimicking the example for mySQL in the documentation: <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm" dataSourceName="jdbc/webappDB" userTable="users" userNameCol="user_name" userCredCol="user_pass" userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="role_name" /> And that did not work out, you know, as I mentioned. I still do not know what was wrong with my configuration for DataSourceRealm. I still wonder how Tomcat would know where to go to look for the users table and the user_roles table, which are on the Oracle server which is sb.lehman.cuny.edu, and is not in any of the attributes listed above. Did I miss any components in the configuration that I tried?
