Hi Christian,
I am working on a geoserver branch which is 2.2.x and used by some other
group which implemented Web-3D service to view Geo-spatial data in 3D form.
Therefore I think it would take substantial efforts to bring-in CAS
extension from 2.3.x to my geoserver version. But I will anyways test CAS
extension of 2.3.x.
Thanks
Sachin
