CAS cas-overlay-template

Spent quite a few days troubleshooting and building 6.4.4.2 from https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template

Not wanting to question the build process I accepted the instructions and created my cas.war file which I promptly deployed to the appropriately supported tomcat server.

I kept on getting the following error NO matter what I did, I even tried adding the appropriate libraries to the tomcat build.

Needless to say it was quite frustrating even when I do know and see the error clearly. Was anyone able to use their build without modifying anything other than the "build.gradle" file?

Solution

  • Spent quite a few days troubleshooting and building 6.4.4.2 from https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template

    This is likely the root of the problem. If you consider reading the README.md file found at the very same referenced github repository, you will find:

    Versions

    • CAS Server 6.5.0-SNAPSHOT
    • JDK 11

    So what you are working with has nothing to do with 6.4.4.2.

    However, if you do actually switch to the correct branch, 6.4, located here https://github.com/apereo/cas-overlay-template/tree/6.4 and then review the README file:

    Versions

    • CAS Server 6.4.4.2
    • JDK 11

    In summary, if you stay on the right branch, you will get the correct version and your fix is unnecessary.
