Creating a new SAML Object Unmarshaller
Create a class that extends org.opensaml.common.io.impl.AbstractSAMLObjectUnmarshaller and meets the following guidelines:
Create a public, no argument, constructor that invokes
super().Override
processChildElement(SAMLObject, SAMLObject)if your SAMLObject contains child SAMLObjects. Be sure to callsuper.processChildElement(SAMLObject, SAMLObject)if your unmarshaller does not handle a given child object.Override
processAttribute(SAMLObject, Attr)if you need to unmarshall information from XML attributes into your SAMLObject. Be sure to callsuper.processAttribute(SAMLObject, Attr)if your unmarshaller does not handle a given attribute.Override
processElementContent(SAMLObject, String)if you need to unmarshall information from the XML element's content into your SAMLObjectEnsure your unmarshaller is stateless
Additional Configuration
If your class requires additional configuration information this can be provided in the OpenSAML configuration file; refer to the Extending the ObjectProvider section for more information.
