are references to localPlugins folder out of date?

[Michael Johnston]

Hi,

I'm attempting to get a CAS server running (to replace a working  
Rubycas-server setup) with a QueryDatabaseAuthenticationHandler with a  
custom encoder.

I know the java language circa 1.3 (old WebObjects programmer) but  
have zero experience with maven, spring etc.

In the list there are a lot of references to putting my own classes in  
"localPlugins". I can find no such folder either in the 3.3 source  
distribution or in the unpacked war in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps.

In any case I'd like to have a project setup that I can put in a  
single SCM repository, and hopefully build with a single command, so I  
have setup my cas src according to http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Maintaining+local+customizations+using+Maven+2

Using this setup is there a way to customize deployerConfigContext.xml  
by putting a deployerConfigContext.xml in my custom sub directory  
somewhere?

Cheerio,

Michael Johnston
