I find Aaron's book a little unclear as to whether you are intended to  
amend the standard geronimo plans or include your login module/security  
realm configuration in a separate plan, so I'm not quite as clear that  
the procedure he describes doesn't work.

I was worried that this situation with login module classloaders would  
occur, and sure enough it has: the inability to use custom login  
modules in other configurations is definitely a bug.  I've entered a  
bug

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1044

to make sure we remember to fix this.

It is actually possible to rebuild the plans without the geronimo  
source.   The original plans are supplied in doc/plans and you can edit  
them and redeploy.
