One minor point, from my previous email, the GlassFish JDBCRealm
parameter "name" is different from Tomcat.
This is due to legency naming issues in existing realms.
Another difference is default value. In Tomcat, digest not specified
means none. But in GlassFish, no digest-algorithm means MD5. If we want
no digest, then we need to specific "none" explicitly.
This is a decision based on security as it is not safe to have password
in clear text.
The GlassFish JDBCRealm should be available in nightly build.
More info will be found in coming blog.
Thanks.
