Just a note that for 3.4.7 we moved the configuration of that property configurer to its own file so that both applicationContext and cas-servlet reference the same file. It should also make it easier for you to override the property configurer itself.
We can still look into moving the cas.properties file if you think we need to. Cheers, Scott On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 11:30 AM, Trenton D.
