As you may read in my very first posting of this thread, I've already 
managed to get one AttributeDefinition object:

Map<String, AttributeDefinition> map = resolutionContext.
getResolvedAttributeDefinitions();

if (map == null || map.isEmpty())
{
  log.error("no attribute defnitions found for " + getId());
}
else
{
  for (Iterator<String> it = map.keySet().iterator(); it.hasNext(); )
  {
    log.debug(it.next());
  }
}

Result:

DEBUG MyShibbolethDataConnector.java(115): 
edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.attribute.resolver.provider.attributeDef
inition.ContextualAttributeDefinition@17753a8

But every time only one AttributeDefinition object is returned, although 
I've defined three different AttributeDefinitions elements in 
attribute-resolver.xml. Playing around with commenting single 
AttributeDefinitions elements in and out showed that every defined 
AttributeDefinition object can be returned, but any time just one!

So my questions are:

 * How does the Shibboleth2 LdapDataConnecor manage to get all
   AttributeDefinition objects at one time by only using:

    <resolver:AttributeDefinition
     ...
     <resolver:Dependency ref="myLDAP" />
     ...
    </resolver:AttributeDefinition>

   and

    <resolver:DataConnector
     id="myLDAP"
      ...
    </resolver:DataConnector>

   ?

 * What is wrong with my config and/or java code (please consider last
   posts that contain the corresponding code snippets)

Sorry, if I can't make it any clearer too.
