Its also very important that when asking for help, you convey all of the appropriate information. You never mentioned that CAS version you're working with, which makes it difficult to determine if you're configuration is wrong. You also grabbed configuration from an unknown source.
Using the stock deployerConfigContext.xml from YOUR CAS server release makes it easier to start and also makes it easier to debug for us. You're prior email noted you were getting a ClassNotFoundException. We noted you may have grabbed config for the wrong version (or looked at an outdated example). You appeared to have found a newer config file (though you didn't mention which one, so I'm just assuming) but then continued to use the old configuration (it appeared anyway since you showed what appeared to be the same error message again). We've had tons of people who are not Java developers successfully deploy CAS. We've had experienced Java developers struggle due to their desire to not bother to learn another tool. Your mileage will vary based on your willingness to learn and troubleshoot. We're here to help, but we can only be as helpful as the information provided (that's just a statement in general and not directed at you in particular; you just happened to ask the question). We also attempt to leverage existing open source projects as much as possible which should give you a large resource for tips and tricks and documentation. However, if you're not a Java developer, these open source projects might not be the ones you're familiar with (its difficult to compare the open source projects you've worked with to ours).
