OpenSAML user discussion

Scott,

I agree with the performance part of your answer.  I'd be surprised if there's much difference.

I'm not so sure I agree about C++ being the only SP integration strategy that makes sense.  I quite like my JBoss-SAML (even if nobody else does!).  See https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/Contributions

I don't think anybody's compared them. Modern Java optimizations have certainly shrunk the gap enormously from the early days.

While I enjoy not having to worry much about low level performance in my SP, I don't use C++ because of that, I use it because there is no other web server integration strategy that makes any sense.
