currently Glassfish employs JSR 196 to offer security mechanism integration points in the servlet container for web tier (HttpServlet layer authentication), and inthe Servlet and EJB containers for web service (i.e. SOAP message authentication) Glassfish does not currently offer an EJB container mechanism integration point for non web service based invocations of EJBS. So before you go to far down this path, you need to decide if you can get by with being able to configure a new authentication mechanism in one of the supported places. If so, the following example describes how to inject a mechanims in the web container. The same principals apply to the SOAP interception points (and I can provide more detail in either case).

jsr 196 allows you to define mechanisms that in effect become internal to the containers, where they can be configured for use by one or more deployed applications.
I think this satisfies the criteria you describe above.
