How to compile CAS source

[Scott Battaglia]

Prabhu,

You need to extend the UsernamePasswordCredentials class i.e. (public 
class MyCredentials extends UsernamePasswordCredentials) and add a 
method to set the request object.

Then create a CredentialsBinder class which will call the setRequest 
method.  You'll then just merely need to change the configuration of the 
cas-servlet.xml so that the authenticationViaForm action uses your 
Credentials and CredentialsBinder class.

The request object will then be available for you.
