John,

Instead of declaring which URLs need to be secure in web.xml, I would
like to determine this when the URL comes in, but then use Tomcat to
deal with the authentication if it is needed. Can anyone give me any
pointers on where to get started with that?


There's no standard way to do this.

Your options are basically to either hack around with Tomcat's
authentication and authorization code (which I don't recommend),
implementing your own authentication and authorization scheme (or
perhaps just the authorization scheme using something like a Valve or,
better yet, a Filter), or piggyback on an existing project like
securityfilter (http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net).

I think that the third option will get you further faster.
