I am just getting started in CAS so I apologize if this question is overly obvious/dense.
I have an application I am trying to CASify and, for various reasons, I do not want to use the filter in web.xml. I am trying to use the "manual" Java client method using CAS Java Objects (as exemplified at http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/client/javaclient/index.html). The instructions contain the folllowing warning: "If this servlet was accessed directly by a user, it would need to check that the request parameter, ticket, was not null. If it was null, the servlet would need to redirect to the CAS login page manually." My question is how would the ticket ever not be null if the servlet is accessed directly? If the servlet is accessed directly, how could the "ticket" parameter possibly be in the request object? I guess what I am really asking is if you are NOT using the filter, how does the client application ever get the ticket? Thanks for any help, John
