public class JDBCRealm
extends RealmBase

Implmentation 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.

TODO - Support connection pooling (including message format objects) so that `authenticate()` does not have to be synchronized and would fix the ugly connection logic.
