I JBoss, you don't configure "Realms" but a "JAAS security domain". This one in configured in "jboss-web.xml" (assuming that you use 5.0 or newer): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC    "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"    "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd"><jboss-web>    <security-domain>mysecuritydomain</security-domain>    </jboss-web> Then, you use either "login-config.xml" (pre-JBoss 5.1, see http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DatabaseServerLoginModule http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DatabaseServerLoginModule ) or a "...-jboss-beans.xml" file (see http://server.dzone.com/articles/security-features-jboss-510 http://server.dzone.com/articles/security-features-jboss-510 ) to configure a "Login Module" which performs database lookup. The only problem left is  that you have to configure a new DataSource pointing to your oracle database and bind this DataSource to JNDI. Hope this gives you something to start with.
