The only way to pull something like this off is to have the "Create a new
user account" go to some webapp logic that adds new users to the actual
database that JDBCRealm is talking to. It will be instantly available for
use by the authentication logic.
You still won't be able to have a user create a new account and then be
accepted as already having logged in, though, without writing a custom
Valve implementation that does this for you (and, obviously, is Tomcat
specific).
