#1 JDBC Realm for user authentication
There has been some refactoring between GF 3.x and GF 4.0. One
unfortunate consequence of that refactoring is that the JDBC Auth Realm
package has changed between those 2 GF versions. This can cause some
obvious issues when moving, from GF 3.x to GF 4.0, an application using
the JDBC Realm!
GF 3.x was using com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.jdbc.JDBCRealm while GF 4.0 is using com.sun.enterprise.security.ee.auth.realm.jdbc.JDBCRealm
GF 4.0.1 will fix this and revert back to the original com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.jdbc.JDBCRealm package!
