Thomas . . . do you want just a metadata catalog or a file/metadata catalog up? . . . you attached OODT-64 to cas-catalog which is a multi-catalog metadata service . . . if you would like file management with metadata, then cas-filemgr is what you are looking to use. cas-catalog is a relatively new addition to the CAS (so unfortunately not much documentation on it) . . . if it is cas-catalog which you would like to get up and running, i've got some example spring xml files which should get you started which i can attach to the issue if you would like.
