Thanks Lee and Sudarsan!
The issue I have is that my JDBCRealm setup seems Ok (I see realm being
loaded) but I am unable to login. I have manually inserted a username and
password in the DB (and set digest to none) but still it will not let me in
with those credentials. The error messages are really vague (basically it
just throws generic LoginException) so that is why I wanted to debug.
Lee, I am using Eclipse and an excellent Eclipse plugin for Glassfish so I
can launch Glassfish from Eclipse... But maybe I should try to start it from
the commandline instead to be able to debug?
I am going to try out your suggestions right away and will let you know how
it worked out! Thanks for your quick replies!
