Hi guys, first of all: Thanks to all of you for your help!
We got it (JDBC-REALM) working now, however, it was a long way. The resolution in short words: We installed a vanilla JDK 1.5 from SUN plus a vanilla Tomcat 5.5 from Apache, same error occured, empty string in the query for j_username in the MySQL-logs I decided that it had either to be the jdbc-driver (Connector/J) or the database since the logs showed me that j_username was read properly from j_security_check. Then I decided to dump MySQL 4.1.11 (we installed it from the MySQL-distri) and we re-installed MySQL 5.0.30 and currently are using connector/J 3. Aaaaaand: VoilĂ ! It's working now. Therefore, if any of you guys is planning to run Tomcat 5.5 with Debian Edge and you want to use the facility of j_security_check, keep to Debian's scource-tree and install MySQL 5.0.30 via aptitude, it will save you a lot of work. Merry XMas to all of you!
