Deploying and using CAS Curator

This document serves as a basic user's guide for the CAS-Curator project. The goal of the document is to allow users to check out, build, and install the base version of the CAS-Curator, as well as perform basic configuration tasks. For advanced topics, such as customizing the look and feel of the CAS-Curator for your project, please see our Advanced Guide.
The remainder of this guide is separated into the following sections:
Download and Build
Tomcat Deployment
Staging Area Setup
Extractor Setup
File Manager Configuration

Download And Build

The most recent CAS-Curator project can be downloaded from the OODT website or it can be checked out from the OODT repository using Subversion. We recommend checking out the latest released version (v1.0.0 at the time of writing).
Maven is the build management system used for OODT projects. We currently support Maven 2.0 and later. For more information on Maven, see our Maven Guide .
Assuming a *nix-like environment, with both Maven and Subversion clients installed and on your path, an example of the checkout and build process is presented below:

mkdir /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src
svn checkout http://oodt/repo/cas-curator/tags/1_0_0_release \
cas-curator-v1.0.0

After the Subversion command completes, you will have the source for the CAS-Curator project in the /usr/local/src/cas-curator-v1.0.0 directory.
In order to build the WAR (Web ARchive) file from this source, issue the following commands:

cd /usr/local/src/cas-curator-v1.0.0
mvn package    

Once the Maven command completes successfully, you should have a target directory under cas-curator-v1.0.0/. The WAR file, called cas-curator-1.0.0.war, can be found under target/.
In the next section, we will discuss deploying this WAR file to a Tomcat instance.
