Hello Brent,

Thanks, the prettyPrintXML method looks great.  Any ideas on my original 
question about the custom data type building into the AttributeValue?

thanks,
-Neill.

Note there are several static utility methods in our 
org.opensaml.xml.util.XMLHelper class which do this also, once you have a DOM 
Node.

Hello,

Yes, Scott is correct here.  I do the following in Java:

MarshallerFactory marshallerFactory = Configuration.getMarshallerFactory();
Marshaller marshaller = marshallerFactory.getMarshaller(assertion);
Element assertionElem = marshaller.marshall(assertion);

TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();

transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");

StringWriter sWriter = new StringWriter();
StreamResult sResult = new StreamResult(sWriter);
DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource((Node)assertionElem);
transformer.transform(domSource, sResult);
String xml = sWriter.toString();
System.out.println(xml);

Hope that helps,
-Neill.

Sorry I can't help but I have a question: How do you dump the XML?
I can do it in OpenSAML 1.1 but could not find the way to do it in 2.0. You 
marshall the object to a DOM and then serialize the DOM however you want
to, for which there are helper methods also available.
