OpenSAML user discussion

["Cortezzo, Jason" <>]

In OpenSAML 1.0.1, schema validation is turned on.  It looks like the way to
turn it off would be to change the XML.get() method...

        p = new DOMParser();
        p.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";, true);

Change the "true" to "false" in the second line.  Would that be the best way
to turn it off?  Maybe a config setting would be in order for future
releases, if it hasn't already been implemented.

Well, what it says is that the message is illegal to SAML, so I'm within my
rights to reject it, but I don't have to do that.

Nobody (but nobody) validates. XML Schema is a very large boondoggle.

I'll poke around, if I can find reasonable precedent, I'll check it in.
