You shouldn't have to. Just put the <Realm> inside the webapp's <Context> element and put whatever classes are used for the realm in the webapp's WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes directory, as appropriate. You'll also need to set the useContextClassLoader attribute of the <Realm> to true. > My problem is that the database (unidata) does not adapt > well to odbc and also does not have a java connector.

I'm confused; first you ask about JAASRealm, and then close with a comment about JDBCRealm. Which is it? And, as usual, don't make us guess the Tomcat version you're using. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
