Xerces Question
I've been trying to set up a CLIENT-CERT authentication for MemoryRealm (one
of the few that handles it :). The CN for the cert has embedded "
characters in it. It seems that xerces chokes on attributes that have
" embedded in them (which I had learned was the only reason to have
" defined in the first place :). I've tried all of the XML tricks that
I know (e.g. <!ENTITY quote "&#x022;">), but nothing works. Any hints
on how to embed " into an attribute?

I didn't try the command line, but from within Tomcat it certainly didn't
like it :). Strangely, I get a different error with DataSourceRealm (not
that it helps, since DSR doesn't support CLIENT-CERT).
Costin's suggestion of hacking MemoryRuleSet to take elements sounds like
the easiest way to go.

From your description, everything seems fine. Does the error occurs
only inside Tomcat or if you parse your file using the command line if
also choke?

Just don't embed it in the attribute :-), add an element and make it
normal CDATA.
