Hi

I think it was Chad that renamed the xacml elements to add the type into the interface name, but it's dumb that elements almost or have the same name

cheers, Håkon

Ok, I misread what he wanted, I thought he meant the samlp:Response element of (type samlp:ResponseType), not the same-named element and type in the XACML context schema.

However, this did make me notice that:  in your XACML provider impl code,  it appears you generally named your XMLObject interfaces with -Type, as where we generally did not.  I don't necessarily think either one is more correct or incorrect than the other, and in some ways I prefer your convention.  Just pointing out the difference for anyone who cares.

Hi

Brent showed how to build a SAML Response, so if you want to build a xacml ResonseType just change Response to ResponseType.

Thanks!  I see how it works now.  I didn't realize you could use the builder for any xacml

One builds all  elements like this, not just xacml but also the saml elements, the xacml is just a add on to the library.

element since the examples only used it to build the higher level elements.

Response response = Configuration.getBuilderFactory().getBuilder(Response.DEFAULT_ELEMENT_NAME).buildObject();

Could you provide an example of how to build a ResponseType object?

Note sure I understand 100% what you're asking, perhaps I'm reading too much into it.  But I think you just want to know how to build XMLObjects programatically, rather than unmarshalling them from a DOM.  That's easy, just use Builders, as described here:

I was told to reask the following to the opensaml list.

How can I create a ResponseType using the opensaml java library from the builder for a PDP.  Since it is for the PDP, the response originates from it and hence it doesn't make sense to read it from the wire.  Since it needs to return custom results, it doesn't make sense to build it from xacml within a file.

Thanks,
Jay
