I just noticed that one "minor" problem with this approach is that 
having more than one Yanel context within a Tomcat instance, all Yanel 
context will access the same realms.xml

I guess not many people will run more than one Yanel context within the 
same Tomcat instance, but having downgrade and upgrade functionality it 
might be the case.

I think it's important that we keep this mind and maybe reconsider the 
loading order.
