There isn't any reason you can't use any login module that's using a
username and password callback. There's no documentation or example
because there's nothing to say, the configuration of the module is
self-contained. It doesn't matter what the calling code is (and it's
orthogonal to servlets, JAAS is not a server-side technology at heart,
it's just used that way).
