OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

Just for completeness, note that I happen to choose string values 
because that seems to be the most common use case, not because it's the 
only option.  I could have chosen any XMLObject so long as I built it 
with a name of AttributeValue and preferably set its xsi:type.

So, if I wanted a SAML assertion to be an attribute value I would do the 
same things but build an assertion instead of an XSString:

XMLObjectBuilder<Assertion> builder = 
buildFactory.getBuilder(Assertion.TYPE_NAME);

Assertion attributeValue = 
builder.buildObject(AttributeValue.DEFAULT_ELEMENT_NAME, 
Assertion.TYPE_NAME);

attributeValue.setIssueInstant(new DateTime());
// Set other assertion values and child elements
