Using RDBMSRealm as backup realm and filerealm as primary realm

Question

I want to use filerealm as primary realm and RDBMSRealm as backup realm in
my custom realm. How can I do that?
Or how can I get access to filerealm from RDBMSRealm so that I can call
filerealm.getUser() before I try to get it from database.
Thank you.

What I've done does set the RDBMSRealm as the default realm.
What had me worried and doubting this was that if there is an authentication
problem, the console still says that there was a problem in "realm
weblogic" -- a little misleading.

I could have sworn that setting the RealmClass in weblogic.properties set
the default realm for the server (or for the cluster in the
weblogic.properties in mycluster), as this seemed to be how it worked with
our test cases....
Now that I've set up a webapp on its own and am trying to test our beansin
it, it appears that the beans/webapp are trying to use the weblogic realm.
Here's the error:
principal: 1234
javax.naming.AuthenticationException. Root exception is
java.lang.SecurityException:
Authentication for user 1234 denied in realm weblogic
at weblogic.security.acl.Realm.authenticate(Realm.java:183)
Here's what I have in weblogic.properties:
weblogic.security.realmClass=examples.security.rdbmsrealm.RDBMSRealm
Should this set the RDBMSRealm as the default realm, or do I have to domore
to set the RDBMSRealm as the default for the webapp?
