Question regarding using custom authentication with WCK

Hello all.

I am planing to use Slide for my project and as part of the

requirements, I need to have a custom authentication. I
noticed the 
existence of such hook in WCK and modified the
FakeSessionManager.java 
to see how it works and it indeed worked as advertised. So
far, I have 
hard-coded username/passwords in FakeSessionManager.java for
testing 
purposes. Now I want to make a database call to validate a 
username/password and I was wondering if someone could give
me a hint as 
how to initialize a  db connection there in
FakeSessionManager.java (or 
any other implementation of SessionAuthenticationManager
interface for 
that matter).

Many thanks in advance,
Ali.

For a very similar scenario, I retrieved a
javax.sql.DataSource from the
Tomcat JNDI context in a static initializer and retrieved a
connection in
the constructor. Here is how to create a data source in
Tomcat:

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Reza
