OpenSAML user discussion

["Paul Hethmon" <>]

Ok, I wasn't sure whether to post this or not, but in starting to use some of the opensaml libraries, I ran into a build problem with java-xmltooling. The particular error was thrown on the compile of org.opensaml.xml.security.X509Util.java at line 206. The javac error was to the effect of:

 

  No unique maximal instance exists for type variable ...

 

refering to <KeyType>. In reading about a similar problem on the Sun Java forums, the solution was simply to add a cast. So from:

 

  return getKey(new FileInputStream(keyFile), passphrase);

 

to

 

  return (KeyType) getKey(new FileInputStream(keyFile), passphrase);

 

This is using revision 247 of that file and 251 of the project itself.

 

thanks,

 

Paul
