Using the existing JAR files produces a NoSuchMethodError trying to instantiate
org.apache.catalina.realm.GenericPrincipal, as the first Realm parameter has
been removed.
The attached Reflection-based patch finds the new constructor and passes the
new argument list, and appears to work correctly, so there don't seem to be any
other 6/7 incompatibilities at this stage.
However you need to make a decision as to how to handle Tomcat 7. You will
either need to (i) continue compiling against Tomcat 6 with this reflective
patch for 7, or else (ii) start a new submodule that compiles against the
Tomcat 7 binaries, and all the implications that flow from that such as
configuring which TomcatAuthenticator you want to use. Or maybe the existing
Tomcat6 authenticator needs to be split out into another submodule so you can
just install the one you want.
Patched TomcatAuthenticator is attached for review.
