OpenSAML user discussion

[Christina Cunningham <>]

Hi,

I am trying to serialize / deserialize SAMLAssertions using XStream. The 
SAMLAssertions serialize fine, but deserialization fails because the 
Log4j logger is serialized along with the assertion.

I have used a work around by marking all the loggers created in the 
opensaml code as 'transient' so they won't serialize with the rest of 
the class. Is there any reason why these loggers should NOT be marked 
transient in the opensaml code base?

I am currently using opensaml-1.1, but the same problem exists with the 
opensaml-2.0 code.

Regards,

Christina
