Yes, you can pass a SAMLException into the SAMLResponse constructor itself,
which it turns into a Status element. There is an imperfect but general
correspondence between the Exception objects and the Status DOM.

E.g:

SAMLException e=new SAMLException(SAMLException.REQUESTER, "Message");
SAMLResponse r=new SAMLResponse(e); // or something like this...

I don't have the class in front of me, but there's a SAMLException parameter
in the constructor somewhere.
