CAS WAR Overlay - REST APIs added in custom java class not detecting

[Nishant Singh]

I am working on customising CAR WAR Overlay with version 6.1.x and add some new functionalities in the form of REST APIs. Now CAS says that in order to add a custom java class we need to do the following:

"In order to include custom Java source, it should be included under a src/main/java directory in the overlay project source tree."

So i included my java class which is a REST Controller at this location: src/main/java/com/example/rest/RestController.class

However, when I run my overlay project in intellij using the command ./gradlew run and try the APIs in Postman then i get 404. Am i missing something here?

I want to do the customisation in overlay so i dont face problem whenever i upgrade cas version. This is the link where CAS explains about the ability to customise is below:

Nishant,

You will also have to add, to cas overlay, the configuration to let it know how to handle your endpoint.

Look in to how cas does its REST login, https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/protocol/REST-Protocol.html. This will require digging in to the cas source, https://github.com/apereo/cas.

Hi Ray,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Your response worked for me. I looked into the architecture of CAS Support Rest module and understood that you have to register your new controller in CasRestConfiguration.java as a bean and injecting all the dependencies required by the controller class.

Now i am able to add my own classes in the CAS Overlay Project by configuring them and also customize  the existing classes of CAS too.
