Hi Scott,
Thank you very much for you message.
Now I am reading the source code of Cpp-Opensaml1 and Shib-SP. I think I have know a small part of the source code. If you have some documents about the architecture of the source code and if they can be distributed, please give me a copy. I appreciate you help.

With best regards,

Weizhong

I'm just telling you that most of that Java code was barely even used in
Shibboleth itself, so asking who uses it or how is kind of a waste of time;
nobody really did. Only the basic SAML object classes ever got used.

All the SOAP client code in the SP, on the other hand, does use the C++ SOAP
classes as I intended, which is why I say it's more mature. There's very
little code there I didn't exercise.

The opensaml2 packages are still changing constantly, and they are not yet
suitable for anything but experimentation.
