OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

I can't tell without more information, but I strongly suspect it's an 
endorsement issue.  Xerces 2.something and above (basically any xerces 
release from the last 5-7 years) supports that method.  Looking on the 
classpath does not tell you whether something is endorsed.  Endorsed 
libraries do NOT show up there.  Now you may endorse a library AND put 
them on your classpath but those are two different things with two 
different outcomes.

Was there more to that stack trace?
