Scott Cantor commented on SSPCPP-511:
-------------------------------------

I'll look at it, but I don't know if I can deliver what you need at this point. It really falls under the heading of file inclusion, because the plugin model doesn't really allow for externalizing the configuration of individual plugins.

What you're seeing in the extractor case, and others, is that the configuration itself is an independent schema and a standalone XML file in its own right. The actual plugin config is the type="XML" and the path or uri attributes inside the main config, which is analagous to the child elements you see in the resolver plugins.

I might be able to cook something up for a future release, but not in a patch update.

> IINM, the SP currently doesn't allow to load AttributeResolver config elements from external files (similar to AttributeExtractor and its XML AttributeExtractor, cf. https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPAttributeExtractor#NativeSPAttributeExtractor-XMLAttributeExtractor).
> Background: we are currently looking into replacing the "aliases" from attribute-map.xml by the Transform or the Template AttributeResolver [as suggested in SSPCPP-468], and it would be preferrable if these AttributeResolver elements could be kept in a separate file.
> Is this something which could perhaps be added for 2.5.1?
