extends JDBCRealm

[Günter Kukies <Gu...@heuft.org>]

Hello,

I want to write a new MyRealm class that extend from JDBCRealm. The new
class should do a BASE64 password protection.
The compilation of the class was sucessfull.

Where should I place that class and what entries do I need in the
server.xml.

Of course, you can do this with the standard version, by using the
"digest" property on the <Realm> element ...

To be visible to the Tomcat internals, your class needs to be in one of
two places:

* In an unpacked directory $CATALINA_HOME/server/classes (create it if
  you need), with subdirectories to mirror the package structure in the
  usual way

* In a JAR file in $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib (which is how all the
  standard Tomcat server classes are shipped)

To tell Tomcat to use your realm implementation, simply change the
"className" attribute of the <Realm> element to the fully qualified class
name of your own implementation, instead of
"org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm".
