OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

The developers will need to load the configuration files  within their 
application but the configuration files themselves will be provided.

Take a look at org.opensaml.common.SAMLObjectTestCaseConfigInitializer 
in the test source.  You can see the static initializer (lines 60 - 88) 
how the test cases loaded the configuration.  This is another area that 
I have to do the documentation on which I'll be doing on Friday.
