Shibboleth Developers

[Will Norris <>]

The last paragraph of the IdP extensions README.txt talks about the  
behavior when duplicate web resources are found.  It claims that  
resources included in an extension will override those found in the  
base shibboleth distribution, but I have found that not to be the  
case.  Looking at build.xml, it is in fact configured to not allow  
extensions to override the files.  I was able to get this to work by  
changing build.xml (line  290) from

<war warfile="${dist}/${idp.webapp.name}.war" webxml="${configroot}/ 
idp.xml" basedir="${approot}" update="no" duplicate="preserve">

to

<war warfile="${dist}/${idp.webapp.name}.war" webxml="${configroot}/ 
idp.xml" basedir="${approot}" update="yes" duplicate="add">

I'm just wondering if it was accidentally broken or if there was some  
other reason for not doing this and the extensions documentation  
missed getting updated.
