OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

If you are starting a new topic please don't respond to an existing thread.

What you're seeing is a classpath issues.  Be sure that all the jars 
bundled with opensaml are on the classpath.  In particular the xmlsec 
jar contains the class you're seeing in the error.  I have no experience 
with WebLogic so I have no idea how you do that.

Also, in regards to endorsement, you should only have the jars located 
in the "endorsed" directory that comes with OpenSAML within your 
JVM/container endorsed directory.  Copying everything over is not a good 
thing and will likely lead to other errors.
