OpenSAML user discussion

Hello,

I'm trying to work with OpenSAML 2.2.3 (the Java API) and I wanted to know if 
all applications using SAML2 need to be bootstrapped (i.e. extend 
DefaultBootstrap and call the bootstrap method).  I get this error when I 
call it:

org.opensaml.xml.ConfigurationException: Can not create instance of 
org.opensaml.xml.schema.impl.XSAnyBuilder

Aside from the test cases in the source tree, are there any recommended code 
samples of using SAML2 in various ways?

thanks,
