Andrew, The documentation specific to CAS is excellent IMO. It was somewhat badly formulated, but I was actually referring to all things not-CAS. Can you expect people to have some familiarity ? Both yes and no IMO. Personally I m a developer, but just not one that focusses on Java (and per extension things like Spring and Maven). However, looking at CAS sparked my interest in Spring and Maven. In the ideal world I'd be able to put everything on hold and focus on that for a few weeks / months. Sadly enough tickets for the ideal world seem to have sold out ;-)
So that being said, at times it can be nice to be pointed in the right direction to quickstart you. I could easily list some websites with very interesting articles on HTML, CSS, PHP, javascript, etc. ... but when it comes to Java, the best I can do is Google and hope there's something usefull within the first few 1000 results. This doesn't mean we need a complete manual for Maven or Spring from you guys. Hell, trying to find out what makes the clock tick, is half the fun. But I'm sure you have some interesting online-sources which you check on a regular basis. (an example for me is SmashingMagazine) There's tons of info out there but I find that it's becoming increasingly hard to filter out the proverbial good, bad and ugly. (either that or I'm getting old :p ) Greetz, Hans Andrew Feller schreef: > Hans, > > The main CAS portion of the JASIG website has the very high-level > information you mentioned for over the past 2 1/2 years: > > * architecture ( http://www.jasig.org/cas/cas1-architecture , > http://www.jasig.org/cas/cas2-architecture ) > * protocol ( http://www.jasig.org/cas/protocol ) > * proxy authentication ( > http://www.jasig.org/cas/proxy-authentication ) > > > On top of that, I know that the most recent releases of the CAS server > includes documentation within Spring configuration files as to their > purpose.
