I've (and others have been dealing with the same issue and have been directed to look at extending the Authentication classes.

If I am, then please forgive me. I'm attempting to use the Tomcat servlet engine's Realm authentication to protect a website. In addition to doing that, I would like Realm to pick up an additional piece of data from the database, and associate it with the session in tomcat's memory (somewhere?). I have found the appropriate file to extend (org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm), made the appropriate change to the sql statement, but now I'm stumped as to how to associate this piece of information with the SessionID that Tomcat sets in the cookie. Can anyone help me gain a bit more insight into this part of the black box?
