Does the 2.2 spec have a way of specifying a custom Authenticator?

There is no portable way (in the spec) to define a custom Authenticator.  You
will have to rely on the platform-specific features of whatever servlet
container you are running on -- such as request interceptors if you are using
Tomcat 3.1.
