Implementation of Realm that works with any JDBC supported database. See the JDBCRealm.howto for more details on how to set up the database and for configuration options.

For a Realm implementation that supports connection pooling and doesn't require synchronisation of authenticate(), getPassword(), roles() and getPrincipal() or the ugly connection logic use the DataSourceRealm.
