Configuration of Filters
Assuming you have a standard web site layout, with protected and unprotected areas, you will need to two authentication filters and one validation filter.
...
- web.xml - defines your web container.
- securityConfiguration.xml - defines the spring beans.

Page Layout
Assuming first time request* If a visitor requests either www.site.com/welcome.jsp or www.site.com/other_page.jsp then a gateway log in authentication is called to CAS.
- If a visitor request either www.site.com/protected/accounts.jsp or www.site.com/protected/payments.jsp then a non-gateway log in authentication is called to CAS.
Sequence
please excuse the bad diagrams
A simplistic view of a gateway call when user does not have a validate CAS session.
