Hi,

I have the following code to create attributes with some string value, but
end up with AttributeTypeImplBuilder ends up being null.

Here are relevant code snippets:

import org.opensaml.Configuration;
static XMLObjectBuilderFactory builderFactory;
    static {
        try {
            org.opensaml.DefaultBootstrap.bootstrap();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // FIXME: handle exception better
            System.err.println(e);
        }
        builderFactory = Configuration.getBuilderFactory();
        System.out.println("Builder factory " + (builderFactory == null));
    }

// attribute builder is null here.
AttributeTypeImplBuilder attributeBuilder = (AttributeTypeImplBuilder)
 
builderFactory.getBuilder(AttributeType.DEFAULT_ELEMENT_NAME);

Is there any additional initialization that is required? 

Thanks,
Rachana
