Sorry for a repost, but I decided to get off my lazy butt for once and look
something up for myself. (If you don't get the sarcasm here, tough.)
I went to:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/JDBCRealm.howto,
which happens to have a JDBC authentication mechanism documented -- using
mysql, as it turns out. Five links: http://jakarta.apache.org/, to tomcat,
to docs, to 3.2, then to "JDBCRealm." Hardly difficult to find. I don't like
the looks of it, but then again... that's okay, Tomcat had to find a way to
do it.
