anil Have you thought about using smooks to do the conversion of the SAML Assertion into Java and back to XML? If you want, I can create the component, just point me to some SAML assertions and I will make the software and test cases. I have the SAML Assertion schema and can generate the test cases for this component if you want. I would follow the way that XACML does its conformance testing. This might find its way into the SAML Spec, at least the tests. John View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4187564#...
