I need to override a single method in a standard tomcat6 realm for a particular 
webApp/context.    


The method:   RealmBase.getPrincipal(X509Certificate usercert)


Q1) Should I create a new custom realm (..subClass of RealmBase) which is 
based-on/copied-from the original/standard tomcat realm?   


Q2) what all classes will I need in my new custom realm?  (...only  
MyCustomRealm class itself? )

Q3) Should I reference my new realm  via my webapp's META-INF/context.xml file?

Q4) Should I put my realm class(es) in a jar inside the tomcat6/lib directory?


...I am new to tweaking realm's, so appreciate the feedback.
