Janusz, If you want internal access to your users and roles, might I suggest the DataSource Realm? It has the advantage of using JNDI and a JDBC datasource, so it uses a pool of database connections. This will perform better as your application load increases. You'll also be able to use normal JNDI access to query your database for the users and roles. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUBeBVAAoJEEFGbsYNeTwtPG8H/3s4U7+62S4oJ2+OIDe2Scpe QOrgv1jM8kSsqkd/My97aaqyIOrLyIc2hmywRzSzw7O+gYfSCItuFn1GHaKC/6JH XvN9troPcWfnHhIJvuJfn+JykmyOfo0ie17loPsqrwkusrgAuD9/uVNFvJVtPHuI 6tXSuVpKt48No7655X/x/FbtyNHMdZlyd4XIluvM5LmMOkobGgiqg7MKJG6MKATY FeYr00uZUj3vaEBnkEpZKfJQUuLL89WQH6SxpSNUUI2MwVml5R8TfkiNMkQf1LWy qvg5v2lq+vTcOnjrEMBH/OR3hP0H3MydONgO/mmLHsmNydYaWc/2P6KcKzd1R10= =QaV2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
