That's what I thought, but my Realm is just ignored and the one that is pre=
sent by default when installing Tomcat is used instead.

Yes, same datasource. Won't go into the details, but perfectly valid reason=
 for doing so.

Yes, in the META-INF. I removed the path and docBase attributes, but still =
no joy.

no.

> of the <Realm>?

No, that was going to be my next question. I see no authentication logging =
whatsoever. Not even of the default Realm, which has debug=3D"0".

I'm baffled.
