Realm instance within webapp

[Graeme Pyle <gr...@raspberry.co.za>]

Hello,

Can I put my Realm subclass within my webapp instead of inside Tomcat's 
lib directories somehow?

My custom Realm subclass uses other classes within my webapp, so I'm 
finding I have to include more and more of my webapp within the Tomcat 
lib directories - not very nice at all :-(

Or am I missing something? My passwords are in an XML file, so none of 
the existing Realm classes work for me. Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Graeme

No. Realms require access to Tomcat internals in order to work.

Indeed.

Realms should be independent of webapp. Any Realm should work with any 
webapp.
