Duran,

If WebAdvisor uses the standard Java Security methods (i.e. uses
request.getRemoteUser()) you can place the CAS Filters in front of the
application in the web.xml and it should recognize it.

Otherwise, you'll need to do some digging into their documentation to see
where their plugin points are for providing your own security.  I
unfortunately am not familiar with WebAdvisor nor do I have access to the
source code.

Thanks
-Scott
