OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

OpenSAML uses Log4j as its logging mechanism, so you change the settings 
however your environment is setting them.  In most servlet containers, 
for example, there is a master logging configuration that you would 
adjust.  The OpenSAML2 jar itself doesn't contain a log4j configuration 
specifically because doing so would require cracking up the jar the 
change logging configurations (why other libraries do this is beyond me).
