Folks,

A first pass at TicketGrantingTicketExpirationPolicy and
TicketGrantingTicketExpirationPolicyTests is up on
https://issues.jasig.org/browse/CAS-1003

The policy implements the sliding and hard timeout as well as the
throttling (cool down).

However, I think there may be a problem with using isExpired for the
throttling feature in a high load environment.  If the RegistryCleaner
happens to calls isExpired within the cool down period won't that
purge an otherwise valid ticket?

A cleaner way to implement throttling might be for the CASImpl to
check the time between last use.

Thoughts?

Bill
