You'll essentially need to re-create what the CAS filters do (which is essentially detect whether you're (a) already logged in or (b) presenting a ticket and then validate the ticket or redirect).
The CAS client is split into two parts: the filters and the core validation APIs. You should be able to merely call our core validation APIs. You might also consider placing the CAS filters in the web.xml and having their "adapter" merely detect the presence of the CAS user in the session or as part of the request.getRemoteUser().
