(JSF) form-based authentication with my own user management

Question

I would like to use form-based authentication as outlined in the book JavaServer Faces (O'REILLY). But instead of letting Tomcat manage the users, I would like to manage them myself: store them in a database etc. Can anyone give me a few pointers?

Thanks in advance!
