OpenSAML user discussion

["Gitesh Malik" <>]

Scott, Is it the expected behavior per the SAX parser validation (per
the opensaml schema) when It raises exception with message - "There are
multiple occurrences of ID value - "#<guid>" given that there is

1. No Id tag attributes
2. Value for two different tags - ResponseId and AssertionID is same
(which per you it should never be)

I was planning to write a standalone test case that would try to pass in
the data that I get from an erroneous debug session and see if still
does fail.

Thanks,

<gitesh/>

No chance. If they weren't being set by you somehow, they wouldn't be
the
same.

I see no possible way they could be the same. Simply isn't statistically
possible. If you come up with any way for that to happen, you can report
it
as a bug, but I can't see it.

You can always generate the IDs with the ID generator class and pass the
ID
in, but I see no reason for doing that in most cases.
