Class MemoryUserDatabaseFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
  javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory

public class MemoryUserDatabaseFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory

JNDI object creation factory for `MemoryUserDatabase` instances. This makes it convenient to configure a user database in the global JNDI resources associated with this Catalina instance, and then link to that resource for web applications that administer the contents of the user database.

The `MemoryUserDatabase` instance is configured based on the following parameter values:

- pathname - Absolute or relative (to the directory path specified by the `catalina.base` system property) pathname to the XML file from which our user information is loaded, and to which it is stored. [conf/tomcat-users.xml]
