OpenSAML user discussion

Hi Scott,

I realized a bug which is obviously caused by a design mistake within java. 
When constructing a SAMLRequest from an element, the fromDOM method is called 
from the constructor of SAMLRequest. Thereby private members are initialized 
correctly.

When constructing a SAMLRequest using an InputStream, the super class 
SAMLObject calls the "virtual" polymorphic method fromDOM without the private 
members being initialized (e.g. respondWiths).

Workaround right now is parsing explicitly and using the element constructor. 
I guess this kind of problem applies to other classes too.

Cheers

Nick
