A JDBCRealm can use BASIC authentication - it doesn't require form-based. Here's an example app that might help you out:

I configured the Tomcat JDBCRealm so that I can use programmic security testing, such as isUserInRole(), in my program. Because Tomcat JDBCRealm is form based, I inserted the <login-config> and its sub-elements in my web.xml file (see below). As we know, the <form-login-page> and <form-error-page> are required. My question is that the container-managed authentication does not seem to be consistent with what we usually do in struts; e.g. we state the logical name and path for each .jsp page in the struts-config.xml file. What is the Struts convention in dealing with user authentication? Should we specify the paths for the logon page and error page in the struts.config.xml or we should use the <form-login-page> and <form-error-page> in the web.xml file? ====================================================== <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>SalesInfo</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/SalesInfo/*</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> <http-method>POST</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>manager</role-name> </auth-constraint> <user-data-constraint> <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>FORM</auth-method> <form-login-config> <form-login-page>/authentication/login.html</form-login-page> <form-error-page>/authentication/error.html</form-error-page> </form-login-config> </login-config> <security-role> <role-name>manager</role-name> </security-role> __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
