Building CAS

Hi David,

All those done and all work
Next I modified the pom.xml file and it still works and the sping LDAP 
jars are pulled in and appear in the libs folder.
Next, I edited deployerContextConfig.xml first just adding 
AuthenticatedLdapContextSource without enabling it as the authentication 
handler and then enabling it.

On each occasion, I stopped Tomcat (after un-deploying) and cleared the 
log files so I could see that there were no errors. So I ended up 
producing the correctly configured & working .war file.

When I was differencing my deployer config with one from one of my the 
previous installs, I finally saw the difference in the file (which I 
have just seen that Scott diagnosed, thanks Scott). I had obviously 
managed to pull a 3.2.1 config file into my 3.3 tree. (I think I know 
why that happened too, someone switched off my 3.3 test server!)

I'm not sure I am that much the wiser but I got to deploy my war file 
loads of times and it does now work.

Thanks
