Scott,

I've encountered a little problem when OpenSAML parses the "IssueInstant" in a SAML response. Here is the format that OpenSAML expects:

IssueInstant="2003-05-20T16:15:39Z"

But this is the format I'm receiving from a non-OpenSAML generated response:

IssueInstant="2003-05-20T16:15:39.789-04:00"

It appears that both are valid according the "dateTime" format specified in the W3C schema http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime. I can't think of a quick fix that would involve simply changing the SimpleDateFormat mask. Maybe you know of one.

Sincerely,

Shannon Kendrick
