If you implement a JNDI directory context which would access your repository, it could work. For the authentication, you definitely need some kind of custom realm, though. Some docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/resources.html And see in the javadocs the o.a.naming.resources package.
