Using CAS with stand alone application

[Scott Battaglia]

Spring has an abstraction for remoting services via various protocols such
as SOAP or JAX-RPC.  I recommend configuring that (probably using xFire,
who's site has a guide for doing it).  The advantage is that you aren't
dependent on screen-scraping.
