Using custom login module with code inside WAR

The description above wasn't really clear to me so this is how I got it working:

1. Download custom_module.zipand form-auth.war from JBossAS7SecurityCustomLoginModules article
2. Do one of the following: EITHER: Repackage custom_module.zip/main/custom_module.jar into form-auth.war/WEB-INF/lib/custom_module.jar OR: Extract custom_module.zip/main/custom_module.jar/custom/MyLoginModule.class and repackage it into form-auth.war/WEB-INF/classes/custom/MyLoginModule.class
3. Modify <JBoss AS 7.1.0.Final>/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml by adding the security domain shown below
4. Start JBoss standalone and deploy the WAR; you should be now able to log-in with user anil, psw anil

standalone.xml security domain snippet:

----

...

           <security-domains>

                <security-domain name="form-auth" cache-type="default">

                    <authentication>

                        <login-module code="custom.MyLoginModule" flag="required">                    

                            <module-option name="usersProperties" value="users.properties"/>

                            <module-option name="rolesProperties" value="roles.properties"/>

                        </login-module>

                    </authentication>

                </security-domain>
