OpenSAML user discussion

["Tom Scavo" <>]

In OpenSAML 1.1, given an instance of a subclass of SAMLStatement, how
do I programmatically determine the instance type?

Maybe a code snippet will help explain what I'm trying to do:

Iterator statements = assertion.getStatements();
while (statements.hasNext()) {
   SAMLStatement statement = (SAMLStatement) statements.next();
   // TODO: log statement type
   if (statement instanceof SAMLAuthenticationStatement) {
       // process AuthenticationStatement
   } else if (statement instanceof SAMLAttributeStatement) {
       // process AttributeStatement
   } else if (statement instanceof SAMLAuthorizationDecisionStatement) {
       // process AuthorizationDecisionStatement
   } else {
       logger.warn("Unknown statement type");
   }
}

Thanks,
Tom
