I realise now what I'm actually trying to do is something like the following
where I give my webapp its own UserDatabase instead of using Tomcat's one which
is based on conf/tomcat-users.xml:
<Context path="/sample" debug="9" privileged="true">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="SampleDatabase" />
<ResourceLink name="SampleDatabase" global="SampleDatabase"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
<Resource name="SampleDatabase" auth="Container"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="/tmp/tomcatusers.xml" />
</Context>
The above gives me the following error on deployment though:
2008-03-12 15:33:11,095 ERROR
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[161.2.225.250].[/sample] -
