      org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Lifecycle, Realm

Direct Known Subclasses:
  DataSourceRealm, JAASRealm, JDBCRealm, JNDIRealm, MemoryRealm, UserDatabaseRealm

public abstract class RealmBase
extends java.lang.Object
implements Lifecycle, Realm

Simple implementation of Realm that reads an XML file to configure the valid users, passwords, and roles. The file format (and default file location) are identical to those currently supported by Tomcat 3.X.

  Log a message on the Logger associated with our Container (if any)

  Parameters:
    `message` - Message to be logged
    `throwable` - Associated exception

### Digest
