Tomcat JAAS sample?

[mrv]

Where can I find anything (sample code, tutorial, article, etc.) to learn
how to setup security in my web app with JAAS and Tomcat?

In the Tomcat source code and documentation. For example in Tomcat 5.0 on
Windows under the directory
install_dir/src/jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/share the files
org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASCallbackHandler
org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASMemoryLoginModule
org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm

for authenticating a user use the same directory and the files under the
package
org.apache.catalina.authenticator

a realm howto is located under if you've installed tomcat locally on your
computer
http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/realm-howto.html
