A few days ago I read in the release notes of tomcat, that actual versions support JAAS for authentication & authorization.
I'm interested in using JAAS in a struts based webapp. Unfortunately I can't find any tutorials or additional docs. I only find a rudimentary
description on: http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=JAAS
which leads into trouble more than helping me.

i've made a library called jGuard, which enable JAAS for J2EE webapps.
you can reach jGuard here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jguard

this library have been tested on tomcat(but other application servers ca use it),with either postgresql,oracle or mysql, for authentication and authorizations.
=> access rights are dynamically changed, like authentification settings, with the database.

have fun!
charles.
