Hello James, You have to build the sources using maven and then copy the generated war to your tomcat folder. As you have seen, it does not work if you just copy everything to the tomcat folder before running "mvn clean install".
See http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/quickstart/index.html for full instructions for making modifications to geoserver. By the way, the changes you mentioned look the same as the security issues reported by Sharath Shetty ([email protected]) in march 25th on this list (https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/35748902/). Andrea mentioned that the security issues are being fixed (https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/35754950/). Since you are still getting up to speed with geoserver development, maybe you could just implement countermeasures at the moment and wait for the official fixes. If you are not familiar with the application and with the development workflow used, you have a higher risk of introducing more security issues as you try to fix these. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you work directly with the developers or/and fund the changes.
