It is specified there -- but I don't have a server.xml file set up. Since
I'm using the embedded version, I set up the tomcat on the fly and just have
the java code start it.
I looked at the server.xml file that comes with the standard tomcat
installation, and I see the the UserDatabaseRealm portion. Can I put that
into the web.xml file? Or is there a way for me to enter that into the
embedded module?
I'm not sure on what to do here. Right now it "works", but I'm trying to
get it so that I can have 2 different users and have them see 2 different
web apps. I don't often do sys admin/configuration stuff, I'd rather be
coding (but I'm waiting for other people to finish up their portions, so I'm
adding in other niceties that I can get done before I can move on to the
next big part.)
I appreciate your help!
Thanks!
