Hello Karan.
Here is the issue regarding context-specific realm:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-901
It has a war file attached, and instructions on how to reproduce.
I've managed to use my JAASRealm as default realm, but it didn't work as
expected, because, for example, isCallerInRole() does not uses the
Realm.hasRole() method, hence it didn't work as expected. For that, I've
registered another issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-902.
Thanks.
