I determined the problem - my jar file wasn't created correctly because the package folders were not created correctly. My bad.

Here is the Apache Tomcat log:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sg.tomcat.MyRealm at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247) at org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.ObjectCreateRule.begin(ObjectCreateRule.java:205) at org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Rule.begin(Rule.java:153) at org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester.startElement(Digester.java:1356) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(AbstractSAXParser.java:501) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractXMLDocumentParser.emptyElement(AbstractXMLDocumentParser.java:179) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:1343) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDriver.next(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:2756) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:647) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:511) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:808) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:737) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:119) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXParser.java:1205) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(SAXParserImpl.java:522) at org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester.parse(Digester.java:1642) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:524) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:562) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.load(Bootstrap.java:261) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:413)

Hello,

I am writing a custom authentication solution since our website uses a custom encryption/hashing process. I created and compiled the jar without errors, but when I put the jar inside tomcat6's lib directory (not the web apps lib directory) I get the following error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. I have done a lot of Google'ing/Stackoverflow'ing and searching Coderanch to no avail.

My realm is setup in server.xml as follows:
<Realm className="com.sg.tomcat.MyRealm" debug="99" driverName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/time_management" connectionName="myname" connectionPassword="blah" userTable="creds" userNameCol="user" userCredCol="pwd" userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename" />

This is the tutorial I used to come up with a test realm: Setup your own Tomcat security realm

Any assistance in getting the class loader to locate my custom realm jar would be appreciated.
