Hello:

I am trying to validate an assertion, but am getting the following 
parsing exception. Any thoughts on what could be doing wrong?

I am using SOAPUI for my tests.

Thanks in advance for your help

-- Validation Code --

   public boolean isTokenValid(String userId, String token) {
      
       StringReader reader = new StringReader(token);

           ppMgr.setNamespaceAware(true);
           Document inCommonMDDoc = ppMgr.parse(reader);
           Element metadataRoot = inCommonMDDoc.getDocumentElement();

           Assertion samlAssertion =

           samlAssertion.validate(true);
           return true;
       }catch(Exception e) {
           log.error("Error during token validation: " + e);
           return false;
