In my web app, I'd like to re-use the (server-wide) Tomcat Realm

couldn't find a way how to get hold of the actual Realm instance.
I spent quite some time looking for a solution (complicated by the
fact that most Google hits actually referred to the LDAP
authentication realm) but found none. Is there a
"config-file-only" solution or do I need to dig into the Tomcat
source code and come up with my own JNDI ObjectFactory to achieve
this ?
What are you actually trying to accomplish? Do you want to
authenticate a user, or get information about an authenticated user?
I need to retrieve the roles assigned to the current (authenticated)
user. I now solved this by simply using
WebServiceContext#getUserPrincipal() (inside a JAX-WS webservice
published by Spring) and downcasting the result to org.apache.catalina.User.
Cheers,
Tobias
