hi,

im working on an access control module where one web service needs to query 
another web service to
determine if a subject is allowed to perform some action. This can be 
achieved using
SAMLAuthorizationDecisionQuery and SAMLDecisionStatement. How can i 
"serialize" a
SAMLAuthorizationDecisionQuery object to xml(atleast an xml equivalent) and 
then reconstruct it on
the other side. I have tried doing this using the toString() function and 
then then using the
constructor that uses a inputstream to re-create it, but this does not seem 
to work.
these are some snippets

            Document d = XMLUtils.newDocument();
//auth_query is an already made SAMLAuthorizationDecisionQuery object
            Node n = auth_query.toDOM(d); 
            s = XMLUtils.ElementToString((Element)n);
            send(s); //send its inside a soap body...

on the other side

            s = recieve();
            SAMLAuthorizationDecisionQuery sudq = new 
SAMLAuthorizationDecisionQuery(
                    new ByteArrayInputStream(s.getBytes()));

This construction throws an error like this
Cannot find the declaration of element 'AuthorizationDecisionQuery'


any ideas would be helpfull.


cheers

Mauricio
