deploying the current Shib v3 snapshot on Tomcat

[Michael Stroucken]

Hi,

The current packaging of the Shibboleth v3 alpha snapshot is apparently
geared for Jetty, but I have a testbed that has Tomcat 8 installed. I
managed to get the application to start up by installing the following
jars, which weren't in the distribution:-

  * org.apache.commons commons-logging-1.2.jar
  * ch.qos logback-classic-1.1.2.jar

Also, I got a cast error from
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.SecurityManager to
org.apache.xerces.util.SecurityManager. I changed the reference in
system/conf/global-system.xml to use the apache version for the
shibboleth.XercesSecurityManager, and it works enough for me to get to
the status page.

Greetings,
Michael.
