Hi All,

Let me start with the obligatory I'm pretty new to Shibboleth so please be gentle.  We have IdP 3 installed and are able to do successful SSO with a static data connector.  Once we created a custom data connector we are seeing the NamespaceHandler error below.

I think I have included all the relevant information below…. Sorry for the wall of text.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dana

I have created a namespace handler that extends from BaseSpringNamespaceHandler.  It has a public var NAMESPACE set to "urn:global:waw:1.0:resolver".

In my resources/METAINF folder I have:
spring.handlers: urn\:global\:waw\:1.0\:resolver = org.worldatwork.shibboleth.config.WaWNamespaceHandler
and
spring.schemas: classpath\:/schema/waw-resolver.xsd = schema/waw-resolver.xsd

My waw-resolver.xsd starts with: 
<schema targetNamespace="urn:global:waw:1.0:resolver" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:waw="urn:global:waw:1.0:resolver"

in my attributes-resolver.xml I’ve added the following xmlns and schemaLocation:
<resolver:AttributeResolver
        xmlns:resolver="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver"
        xmlns:pc="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:pc"
        xmlns:ad="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad"
        xmlns:dc="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:dc"
        xmlns:enc="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder"

My data connector is configured as follows (with the attribute definitions following):
    <resolver:DataConnector id="WaWAttributes" xsi:type="waw:Test"
                                xmlns="urn:global:waw:1.0:resolver"

                                eduPersonTargetedID = "eduPersonTargetedID"
                                personRole = "personRole"
                                firstName = "firstName"
                                lastName = "lastName"

                                title ="title"
                                companyName = "companyName"
                                shippingAddress = "shippingAddress"
                                phone = "phone"
                                areaOfExpertise = "areaOfExpertise"
                                authorWorks = "authorWorks"
                                reviewWorks = "reviewWorks">
