Tomcat: form authentication - creating a login bean

[Jon Yeargers <jo...@bme.ogi.edu>]

I have a site that uses Tomcat's form based authentication. It reads 
from a MySQL db using a 'DataSourceRealm' defined in the context.xml 
file. All well and good.

What Im hoping to achieve is creation of a session bean with info about 
the logged in account when a valid login is sent. Is there a value in 
context.xml, web.xml or other that I can enter / trap / override?

Im using TC5.

The table used in the DataSourceRealm can contain more than just the 
user's credentials.  Expand the schema to include all the info.  When 
they login, just query the database for the remaining info.  
request.getRemoteUser() provide's the username of the client.  A request 
filter would be ideal for this.
