Oh sure. I removed that bit to see if it was that causing the error but 
obviously not.

I don't have a local modules folder anywhere. Is that because I'm not 
using maven just the .war file?

Then again, 
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/CAS+Quickly+(LDAP,+Windows,+Apache+Directory+Server) 
also mentions copying that file from you "CAS installation" but I have 
no installation of CAS other than the .war file.
