Hello, LDAP Realms (and probably others) in tomcat uses GenericPrincipal as the Principal instance. This GenericPrincipal provides interresting methods like 'getPassword()' which is very usefull when your webapp has to forward the credential to a specific library before using it. Unfortunately, typecasting to GenericPrincipal like that
String password = ((GenericPrincipal)principal).getPassword(); Does not work, as it seems the GenericPrincipal class is not exposed to webapp at runtime: Exception Class: class java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Message: org/apache/catalina/realm/GenericPrincipal Is there a recommanded way to access this information (user suplied password) from the webapp? Or will i have to play with reflection api or beanutils to extract this property? Thanks for follow ups. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
