Given the fact that I can't use an XMLObject to create a Signature
object, I was hoping I could find a workaround. But I don't think that's
going to be possilbe without some sort of Signature::setXMLSignature
method. I do, of course, understand why there isn't one. Do you have any
ideas for a workaround?

#if (0)
        XMLObject* xmlObject =
XMLObjectBuilder::buildOneFromElement(assertionElement, true);
        opensaml::Assertion*
assertion(dynamic_cast<opensaml::Assertion*>(xmlObject));
        signature = assertion->getSignature();
#else   
        signature = SignatureBuilder::buildSignature();
        //need way to set signature value       
#endif
        SignatureValidator signatureValidator;
        signatureValidator.setCredential(credential);

        try {
                signatureValidator.validate(signature);
        }
