It's not clear what you want to know. Perhaps you should take another look at the documentation.
You can authenticate people against a database, the XML file is just a simple example. >From a servlet you can find out what username they logged in as and which realms they have access too. What exactly do you need to change from a servlet?

But my problem is that from within the servlet container I cannot do anything with it. For example, I cannot retrieve it and pass it on to the authentication module, for example JDBCRealm. Yes, you can but then you have to manipulate the web.xml file yourself? Is this really the case?
