Hi,

there is a new element in the service.xml of the IdP 2 RC3:

<Service
id="shibboleth.ServiceServletContextAttributeExporter"
depends-on="shibboleth.AttributeResolver 
shibboleth.AttributeFilterEngine 

shibboleth.SAML1AttributeAuthority shibboleth.SAML2AttributeAuthority 

shibboleth.RelyingPartyConfigurationManager shibboleth.HandlerManager"
xsi:type="ServletContextAttributeExporter" />

In the comment line is written:
  <!-- 


        A special service that exports all services upon which it 
depends into the ServletContext as an attribute 

        with the same name as the service's ID. 


    -->

Can you tell me a bit more, what this special service is?

Thanks

-- Franck
