OK, so I'd need to add a Realm for the UserDatabaseRealm in either of the
spots you listed. I'll probably use the file, so that I can adjust it if
need be.
Where do I put the tomcat-users.xml file, so that the Realm has
users/passwords? Is there a way for me to tell the Embedded object where it
is, or will it look in a certain spot by default?
Thanks!
