Realm implementations need to be placed into server/lib (or server/classes)
It can't be in WEB-INF because of classloader security.
It can't be in common/lib because it the realm needs stuff in server/lib
(usually)
But if you make privledged=true (bad idea usually) - you might be able to
keep your Realm in WEB-INF
