Sean - I didn't omit anything in my post - the serverl.xml is as it is in my app. I think you might have inadvertently answered my question, does my context level realm physically have to reside inside the context tag? (do I have to put a </context> on after the realm)? I manager to get everything working, it is authenticating the manager app against the database fine now, and the lower level authentication works as well, I am not sure which realm is being used where, I am going to create a new database and see that it is working right.
Thanks for the reply!!

Basically I want to know exactly what you edited out of the server.xml file that you put in your message because you didn't think it was relevant. Basically, I suspect that if you left the memory realm at the engine level that authentication is failing against the memory realm (so it doesn't bother checking your JDBC realm at the engine level).
