I don't see anything immediately wrong in the code, but the basic
problem is that the form that's being submitted to the decoder doesn't
contain the field for the SAML message.  What template are you using in
the encoder?  The one shipped in OpenSAML would be a template ID of
"/templates/saml2-post-binding.vm", using the classpath resoure loader.

To really diagnose it, just turn off Javascript in your browser so that
the form doesn't auto-submit, then take a look at the form with your
browser's view source.  That will show you what the encoder is actually
generating and should give you an idea of what is wrong.
