Hi Shibboleth developers,

based on the IdP extension guide [1] I implemented a custom
LoginHandler. The main problem is that the presented schema files do not
work - to me it looks like a general problem so that I am asking myself
how the presented xsd [2] file could ever work.

When using this schema SAX throws the following exception:

> Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: src-import.3.2: An <import>
> element information item that had no namespace attribute was found,
> so the imported document cannot have a targetNamespace attribute.
> However, the targetNamespace
> 'urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:idp:profile-handler' was found in the
> imported document.

As I understand it the "targetNamespace" SAX complains about is part of
the imported XML Schema file "shibboleth-2.0-idp-profile-handler.xsd".
That file is part of the IDP and therefore I can not change it, but the
example says I have to import it. From my point of view this problem is
unsolvable...

Has anybody successfully used the one of the example extensions with
shibboleth-idp-2.1.5? Do the examples really work?

Best Regards,
Jan

BTW: I would like to share my made experience by adding certain
information to the Shibboleth 2 Documentation Wiki - but I can not run
an IDP just for editing a wiki. Is there no simple approach for getting
 an account?
