I understand. My problem it twofold. In order to make an authentication decision ...
        - I need to have an access to some information from HTTP Request,
- I need to be able build HTTP Response (basically, I need to be able to issue challenge in response to authentication request). As I stated in my original post, I think that right place to put this kind of functionality is authenticator. My original question was, if it is possible to register new Authenticator without re-compiling Tomcat.

I was just commenting that I can not see how JAASRealm
(or any Realm for that matter) can help me

Specifying JAASRealm as the <Realm> gives you the opportunity to
implement your own LoginModule.  Such a LoginModule can utilize any
number of authentication mechanisms - all under your control.
