axis 1.4 overriding BASIC authentication
Is it possible to override the class that handles BASIC HTTP authentication?
I want to forget tomcat_users.xml and hook into some proprietary
authentication code which stores users and passwords.

In tomcat custom authentication can be achieved by implementing your own
realm. Although I would first check if any of the built-in tomcat
realms (DataSourceRealm, JDBCRealm, ...) could be used. See
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/realm-howto.html (depending on
your tomcat version) for more detail.
