There's no standard way to do this.

Your options are basically to either hack around with Tomcat's
authentication and authorization code (which I don't recommend),
implementing your own authentication and authorization scheme (or
perhaps just the authorization scheme using something like a Valve or,
better yet, a Filter), or piggyback on an existing project like
securityfilter (http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net).

I think that the third option will get you further faster.

Bypass web.xml declarative security (sort of)

2007-01-17 Thread John Caron

Hello:

Instead of declaring which URLs need to be secure in web.xml, I would like to 
determine this when the URL comes in, but then use Tomcat to deal with the 
authentication if it is needed. Can anyone give me any pointers on where to get 
started with that?

thanks,

John Caron
