OpenSAML user discussion

[Brent Putman <>]

The use of the classes mirrors that of the corresponding schema types:  
RequestAbstractType is abstract in the SAML 2 schema, so the 
corresponding class in OpenSAML is also abstract, and so you can't 
instantiate it directly.  The XACMLAuthzDecisionQueryType schema type 
*extends* that type to create a new concrete type, so the proper thing 
to do is create a new concrete Java class that represents that XACML 
profile class and which extends the SAML 2 RequestAbstractType class.

See the developer's manual here for more info on extending OpenSAML:
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/OpenSAML/OSTwoDeveloperManual

There were also some threads about this in the last 2 months or so, see 
the list archives.

BTW, there is also some work to add XACML support to OpenSAML.  There is 
some work going on on a branch.  Someone else can perhaps comment on 
where that is in terms of progress, etc.
