I have successfully used JNDI realm to protect my applications on Tomcat.
But if Tomcat is unable to connect to the the directory server, it refuses

connect to the directory. It seems if the JNDI realm is set up, the
tomcat-users.cml file entries become useless.
Need Help!!!
Thanks

You are correct. This type of fall-back from one realm to another is
not supported. However, JNDI does have an alternateURL attribute which
is used if connecting to connectionURL fails. It isn't as well
documented as it should be - something that I'll fix later today - but
if you search
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html for
alternateURL you should find the info you need.
More generally, I suspect that making your directory more reliable (or
replicating to a second directory and using the alternateURL) is going
to be less effort and less error prone that trying to keep to
completely different lists of users, passwords and role assignments in
sync.
