It's fairly unusual to have a tomcat application of any size login to
the db as the user. Could you share the reason why ?
The app is actually middleware for Adobe Flex frontend and PG backend,
not a regular web app. The architecture requires PG to know which user
has connected (lots of heavy lifting takes place in PG), and we so far
havent found any other way how to let PG know which user has connected.
The only alternative was to supply user ID in every PG function call but
that is messy and introduces it's own limitations as well. If you have
any suggestions I'm all ears! ;)
It would seem to me that if you need to scale this app then you are going to have to set the user in the application somewhere. Having all of the users connect as themselves doesn't lend itself to being scalable.
