OpenSAML user discussion

[Kenny Pearce <>]

Hi,
        I'm trying to use typed AttributeValues as suggested by saml-core 
sect.
2.7.3.1.1, but as far as I can tell OpenSAML is ignoring my xsi:type
element. 

Here is the XML element in question I'm trying to unmarshall:

<saml:AttributeValue xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:type="xs:anyURI">urn:hxti:roles:hxti:super-user</saml:AttributeValue>

I get the following in the logger:

2008-05-23 15:27:03.217 TRACE - Unmarshalling other child nodes of DOM

Does OpenSAML support the use of xsi:type here? If yes, what am I doing
wrong?

        Thanks,
