RE:RE: How to get Role and Password from JDBC Realme -using 3.2.2

[me...@twrichter.de]

Thanks Jan,

I have to apologize not to have explained the intended usage:
I need username, userpassword and userrole since I will use it for
DB-Authorization (GRANT to group, and user to tables and so on, connecting
DB with username,userpass). I intend to synchronize username, password and
role with the authDB of the specific Datebase (Interbase and isc4.gdb). Is
there a methode like org.apache.catalina.realm.GenericPrincipal principal
= request.getUserPrincipal() for Tomcat 3.2.2 and is there an elegant
method for attaching password, too?

Thank you for help
   Thomas
