WHy is service ticket null?

[t ray]

Looks like a bit of chicken and egg situation for me- I need to do be able to do one of the following-
1. make sure my datasource is up and in valid state BEFORE I let the user attempt to login, OR
2. alternatively, I figure out during authentication that datasource is not up and redirect the user to a different page to allow it to be configured.

So, I figured that if I could do my preprocessing and then somehow gain a ticket, I could validate it etc per the code I mentioned. 

Is this achievable?

You won't have a ticket available in your Request object unless you let the user authenticate to CAS and then have CAS redirect back to your service.

Hello,
I am having trouble getting the service ticket. I use the following code and ticket turns out to be null-
 
    ServiceTicketValidator sv = new ServiceTicketValidator();
    sv.setCasValidateUrl(" https://localhost:8443/cas/serviceValidate");
    sv.setService("http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp2/dem/basic-stuff.jsp ");
    System.out.println("TICKET="+request.getParameter("ticket"));
    sv.setServiceTicket(request.getParameter("ticket"));
    sv.validate();

As per my understanding, one needs to either manually validate a ticket OR set up the filters etc within web.xml. I have NOT modified web.xml and I expected the above to work. Things work fine when I modify the web.xml and let the filters redirect my requests to CAS.
 
Suggestions?
 
Thanks.
