Tomcat doesn't have any direct APIs for that.
One approach (which would actually be portable to other containers as
well) would be to write a Filter which wrapped the incoming request, and
overrode the getRemoteUser(), getUserPrincipal(), and isUserInRole()
methods. It's really the *effect* of logging in that you're after, and
this is how an application finds out.
This wouldn't work in a J2EE environment (because the fake "Principal" you
return wouldn't be a real one that allowed EJB access), but it should work
fine for a servlet-only environment.
