An entry point could be my original JASPIC article that you can find here; http://arjan-tijms.omnifaces.org/2012/11/implementing-container-authentication.html At the end of the article you'll find a list of resources. My approach would be to investigate how Tomcat integrates authentication modules, eg look at the source of the JAAS support in Tomcat; that code has to do similar integration. You can look at JBoss 7.x for an example too, it used Tomcat and an integration Valve (WebJaspiAuthenticator seehttp:// grepcode.com/file/repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/org.jboss.as/jboss-as-web/7.1.1.Final/org/jboss/as/web/security/jaspi/WebJASPIAuthenticator.java ) Geronimo also implemented JASPIC and used Tomcat, so that implementation would be high on the list to study too. Many implementations have a (large) part of their code dedicated to handling some xml file where jaspic auth modules are defined. Strictly speaking this is not a required part of JASPIC, but it's somewhat expected for configuring modules at the container side (as apposed to from within the app archive). I did actually more or less promise to do this implementation myself, but so far havent found the time for it. Let me know if this is enough to get started.
