OpenSAML user discussion

That test isn't really intended to work, exactly, and even if it did, you're
talking to a server that's sending back data that uses a schema that
OpenSAML doesn't include, from Shibboleth. Sorry for the confusion, I'll try
and clean up the tests to make sure they run.

There is no non-Shibboleth SAML server to talk to that I can provide for
testing against, unfortunately.

There is none, short of adding the Shib schema to the parser to resolve the
unknown type.

Just the Javadocs, unfortunately. There isn't much to it, just write a
servlet that calls SOAPBinding::receive() to parse the input and calls
respond() to send back output. That's a pretty small part of the AA code in
Shib, and should be quite easy to copy, really.
