There is no admin webapp for Tomcat 6; is that your own, or did you copy
over stuff from a previous level of Tomcat? If you did, that's likely
the cause of your problem, since the configs and built-in webapps are
not compatible across levels.
I copied the admin app from Tomcat 5 after seeing that the manager app
wasn't working right, just to see if I could get a clue from how it was
configured. (Tomcat 6 still has the html page for the admin app that
says it can be downloaded if desired, so I assumed it was still
supported for 6.0.) I got rid of it, now, however. See below.
All of those warnings need to be fixed; it's more evidence of copying
config files from a previous level, which is a definite no-no. You
should start over with a clean installation of Tomcat 6, and then port
(not copy) whatever you need from the older level.
To enable a systematic approach, I started from scratch. I de-installed
Tomcat and deleted all its files. Here's how it went.
1. I re-installed 6.0.16, specifying a user name with manager role for
tomcat-users.xml. I was able to access manager using these credentials.
2. I added to server.xml the JDBCRealm descriptor that I showed earlier
in the thread. I made no other changes. At this point, I could no longer
authenticate to manager using the credentials in Tomcat-users.xml.
(Perhaps when there was only one realm, UserDatabaseRealm was used as
the default. Now that there are two, I have to point manager to the one
to use? I tried earlier to do this using a <ResourceLink> element as
described in Tomcat docs and the comments to manager's web.xml, but I
must not have done it right, as I couldn't get it to work. I'd prefer
anyway to get it working with JDBCRealm.).
3. I put the JDBC connector jar into ${catalina.home}\lib and copied
into webapps my custom app that uses JDBCRealm for authentication, and
tested it. It works fine, using the JDBC connection to authenticate a
user with role manager.
4. I modified manager's web.xml login-config to be
<login-config>
<auth-method>DIGEST</auth-method>
<realm-name>JDBCRealm</realm-name>
</login-config>
which is the same as my custom app. I cannot authenticate to manager
using the JDBC credentials.
I now have no error messages (I believe) in my log file except the one
about no matching property for debug. I don't know what's causing that,
but perhaps it's the relevant clue. Here's my catalina.<date-time>.log
file, showing restart and attempt to access manager app.

I have manager app directly under ${catalina.home}\webapps. Is that correct?
