> In the jetty integration, in SecurityContextBeforeAfter, a request for an unsecured page results in the default subject being set in the ContextManager (line 288).  This provides a way to call secured ejbs and also provides a source for credentials for calling secured web services.
> In tomcat, we don't do anything like that: in particular there is no source of credentials for secured web services.  
> I think the simplest solution is to, if the app is secured, to add another valve after the standard tomcat security valve, that sets the default subject into the ContextManager if none is there already.
