Yes, in the spirit of "dont reinvent the wheel" I was trying to leverage as much as possible from the catalina BaseRealm, but that implementation requires GenericPrincipal to get the list of roles associated with the principal.
Thanks for the pointer. Any issues moving all the jar from server/lib to common/lib for a quick workaround? On 6/29/06, Jon Wingfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In addition, custom Realms merely need to create instances of Principal. There is no requirement for them to extend GenericPrincipal. Our Realm classes are deployed to server/lib Our extension to Principal is deployed to common/lib See the thread "Is custom realm using user/role data in webapp possible?" from 26th May for more details.
