hmm, the point is you tomcat creates the realm before the app is started
(== the webapp classloader is not available) so you have to put your realm
in the container
FYI you can use the tomee maven plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.openejb.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomee-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<libs>
<lib>examples:EJBRealm:1.0-SNAPSHOT</lib>
</libs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I don't know if tomcat already have a kind of lazy realm instantiator but
we could add one in tomee to manage such cases
