Multiple realms in tomcat

[Ben Jessel <be...@morpheme.co.uk>]

Can you set up multiple JDBC realms in tomcat 4x or are you stuck with just the one?
Also, say that you had no control over configuring server.xml ( say, you had web-app space with an ISP ) is there any way you could configure a web-application wide realm  without having to play around with other configuration files?

Thanks

Ben

From:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/realm.html

"You may nest a Realm inside any Catalina container (Engine, Host, or
Context). In addition, Realms associated with an Engine or a Host are
automatically inherited by lower-level containers, unless explicitly
overridden."

I haven't tried it, but it sounds like it'll work.

As far as I know, Realms exist on the server level, so if you're asking
about configuring one from web.xml, forget it.
 If you've got autoDeploy enabled for your webapps folder, though, you can
probably add a 'context.xml' file in there which contains a Realm -
that would mean you could avoid editing server.xml...

See:
