JA-SIG Java CAS client registering username with servlet container upon validating service tickets

QUESTION:
Is there a way to register usernames with the servlet container upon service
tickets being validated by using the JA-SIG Java CAS client?

EXPLANATION:
While digging through out application logs, I came to the point where I am
fed up not having users¹ usernames associated with HTTP requests from Tomcat
AccessLogValve.  I realize this is because users are only known to the CAS
client and haven¹t been registered with Tomcat.  After users are logged in,
we use a custom JAAS module to provide their principals.  I have started
looking harder at Spring Security / ACEGI for authorization, but I wanted to
see if anyone else has figured this out.

Thanks,
Andrew
