Fwd: marshallerFactory.getMarshaller(samlToken) returns a "null"

[Thomas Lionel SMETS (prof)]

Hello,

I base my code on what I found here :
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=3277019

As I recuperated some code from another project, so from what I could
gather ... it seems I do most things needed like :
[code]
        try {
            DefaultBootstrap.bootstrap();
        } catch (ConfigurationException e) {
            throw new SAMLEngineRuntimeException("Error initializing
Open SAML", e);
        }
[/code]

but the marshaller returned by the "marshallerFactory" is always "null" 
thought listening to the logger "org.opensaml" shows no warning that the
initialization is not OK :(


Here is a Sniplet of "my" code

[code]
public byte[] marshall(final XMLObject samlToken) throws
MarshallingException, ParserConfigurationException, TransformerException {

            if (LOG.isTraceEnabled())
                LOG.trace("Request to marshall : " +
LoggingConstant.START_TRACE_TAG + samlToken.toString() +
LoggingConstant.END_TRACE_TAG);

            javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder docBuilder;
            // Get the marshaller factory
            MarshallerFactory marshallerFactory =
Configuration.getMarshallerFactory();
            // Get the Subject marshaller
            Marshaller marshaller =
marshallerFactory.getMarshaller(samlToken); // marshaller is 'null'
after this statement
            docBuilder = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
            Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();
            // Marshall the SAML token
            marshaller.marshall(samlToken, doc); // throws Exception
(obviously a NullPointer)
            ...
[/code]

What step am I missing ???

\T,
