Hi,

We want to develop an Enhydra application and possibly taking
avantage of the HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole. We used to manage
that kind of functionnallity using are own implementation with database 
tables.

We want to be able to dynamically add/remove/edit users and assign roles 
(not only at deploy time using a static file).
We cannot wait for future releases of Enhydra.

In Tomcat 4 there is an implementation of a Realm interface called JDBCRealm 
that looks up users in a relational database accessed via a JDBC driver. I 
think enhydra 5.x is based on Tomcat 4 but
we have to wait for enhydra 6.x in order to use all its features. Is that 
right?
Can we use it with the current Enhydra version?

Should we stick with our homemade implementation?
Thanks

Daniel
