Is it based on using security restraints and having all your users set into groups in the tomcat-users.xml file? If so our problem is we don't want to have users based into groups but want to give permissions to users individually to many different things.. and we want to store our users in a database rather than tomcat's xml file.. if I am mistaken on how this works please correct me =) (I havn't actually looked at it, I've just looked at tomcat's security restraint stuff before)
Just set up a JDBC realm for your context and use roles. A role can be as fine or coarse grained as you like. Then just write an admin app which allows you assign roles to users. It's easy.
