Hello Everyone, I am having a hard time getting a custom Realm to work in 5.5.12 (with the 1.4.2 compat libs). At first I tried using the same MyRealm.jar that works currently in tomcat 5.0.30. No authentication semmed to be taking place so I tried using the source of DataSourceRealm as my template and compiled under the 5.5.12's catalina.jar and jmx.jar. Now when I try starting tomcat I either get an exception like this: ERROR main org.apache.commons.digester.Digester - Begin event threw error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/realm/RealmBase at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
in which case Tomcat will not start . In the 5.5 Realm How-To we are told to follow these steps to make our own Realms: * Implement org.apache.catalina.Realm, * Place your compiled realm in $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib, * Declare your realm as described in the "Configuring a Realm" section below, * Declare your realm to the MBeans Descriptor. Do we really need to implement Realm. MyRealm just extends RealmBase.' Which is what the other 'standard' implementations do as well. Just implementing Realm seems a little closer to the bones of the container. And I note again that this method worked fine in 5.0.30. What am I missing? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
