OpenSAML user discussion

[Paolo Selvini <>]

I am doing a very simple test in order to better understand the cause of another problem about XML encoding with OpenSAML.

The test is the following: take a very simple and empty SAML metadata file like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<md:EntityDescriptor xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"/>

and process it with the code attached to this message. The code parses the file with a Reader forcing ISO-8859-1 encoding, processes it through unmarshalling and marshalling and then, without doing any modification to it, saves it back to disk with a Writer, forcing encoding ISO-8859-1. The output is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md:EntityDescriptor xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"/>

You may notice the difference in the <?xml... > header, where the encoding has been altered.
Does anybody know the cause and any possible solution / workaround?

I'm using OpenSAML-J 2.1.0.

thanks,
Paolo
