I myself have been asked by my client to provide more/correct feedback to
a user trying to login but whose account already has been disabled (too many
failed login attempts). The current functionality clearly isn't giving
good feedback at all. The problem to do this better though is that there
isn't a formal way to communicate information back *through* the JAAS implementation
(i.e. the Tomcat JAASRealm) to the client (J2). We need to provide our own
channel or such for that.
