J2 JAAS

Hi All,

I am trying to use JAAS provided by J2. Is there any documentation on how to 
use that ? I tried reading all the test examples they have and read all the 
code for security.

here is my problem, when I follow JAAS client-side specification and try to 
use J2's JAAS. I get NULLPointer exception. this is because i dont 
instantiate userManager. Do i need to initialize this ? Is any one has 
example how to authenticate username and password with J2 JAAS.

Thanks in advance,
Amit

Ive started documenting it. SLOW process, but you can watch the snail pace 
here:

I know its just an empty shell but its a start.
As they say, better than nothing. Well maybe...

We just have the one example, the default implementation which does use a 
Java security login module.
