    CAS Filter with Richfaces

      Hi All,

      I used CAS as authentication in my project with Richfaces. I tried to handle the session time out in client side in order to provide a friendly workflow when session timeout. But I found that when I use CAS filter, the JS function A4J.AJAX.onExpired failed to be called. Does any one have any clue on it?

      Everything works fine when I simply remove the CAS filter. I tried to put the CAS filter before or after the richfaces filter, same result.

      Thanks all.

          Hi,

          What CAS filter are you using: looks like there are two available: org.jasic.cas.* and edu.yale.its.tp.cas.*?

            Hi nbelaevski,

            I am using the edu.yale.its.tp.cas.* one.

            Any clue?

            Thanks a lot.

                  from the beginning RichFaces filter and its mapping should be declared first in web.xml. Please give it a try.

                    sorry.. small addition.. map both filters to servlet by name and declare the RichFaces filter first.

                      Thanks ilya,

                      I changed my web.xml to the following but still does not work. The page refreshes itself and the session become alive. It simply skip those A4J.AJAX.onExpired function.
                      But if I remove the CAS filter, everything goes fine.
