Generate Discovery Feed

This command line configuration example:

Reads a file path/to/input/aggregate.xml containing a SAML metadata aggregate
Decomposes that aggregate into its constituent entity metadata documents
Filters out selected entities, as an example of arbitrary metadata manipulation
Generates an EDS-compatible JSON discovery feed in path/to/output/discofeed.json

You can execute the example as follows:

$ .../mda.sh discofeed.xml main

The example configuration file is as follows; it has been verified with MDA version 0.10.0-SNAPSHOT as of 2023-10-23:
