Why use a JAAS Realm ?

I would like to know the advantages a JAAS Realm offers over other Realms
like DataSource Realms.


   - Do JAAS Realms allow configuring a custom password hashing protocol
   like bCrypt ?
   - Can I do post login activities like storing the user-id in the user
   session ?
   - Are there any advantages or reasons why you would want to use a JAAS
   Realm ?
