Sorry, I was out of the office last week.

The java client we modified was the one from the yale distribution,  
2.11 or something like that IIRC. The modifications were fairly  
minor, but I didn't make them myself so I can't say exactly where  
they are. In general, if you want to pull out extra attributes from a  
customized CAS 2 response, you need to modify where the client parses  
the XML returned from the serviceValidate call.
