using realm in a servlet

[colorblind <an...@webanana.com>]

hy there,
     is there any way to use a context realm in a servlet to 
authenticate a user?

i.e. i use form authentication (can't use the basic one); i need to 
write a servlet that is out of realm restrictions (it has to be called 
from an applet that can't do form authentication) but must validate user 
and password.

my idea is to get a reference to the realm of my servlet's context and 
to use it to verify user and password.

any idea? should i change my approach?

thanx in advance,

ale.
