I need to choose a method for authenticating and authorizing users for
various roles within my application.  What are my options with jBoss?  I
know some containers such as WebLogic have techniques built in to aid a
developer.  

Off the top of my head...

 - wrap the whole site behind an apache webserver and authenticate at that
level.  Not sure how i will communicate the results to my app however.

 - use a servlet/ejb component to use jndi to grab the username and
password via basic http auth then compare to our ldap directory.

are there other ways that are better/more obvious to those who are
familiar with jboss?  are there massive flaws with either of those two
above approaches?  

specifics or general discussion both are much appreciated.  I have some
hard choices to make in a day or two =)
