FWIW running the testbed with idp-confs

[Tom Zeller]

For anyone interested in the testbed from the dev call today,

While we demo’ed the testbed (running/testing the IdP from inside Eclipse with mock SPs) via the testbed’s Main.class, I actually use a little helper project to run multiple testbeds by importing multiple idp-conf projects inside Eclipse. I can write up some doc if need be, but I usually : (1) run the bin/checkout-idp-conf.sh script which checks out idp-conf and turns on verbose logging etc., (2) import the resulting idp-conf project into Eclipse, and then (3) run the testbed via the helper project's IdPServer.class in Eclipse (kinda like java-idp-testbed’s Main.class). I typically use ‘idp-conf-<JIRA issue>’ for the names of the idp-conf projects that the script creates, with Eclipse launchers similarly named.

Plenty of gotchas if you go this route, just wanted to send a quick note.

Basically, I found that I wanted to run the testbed with multiple copies of idp-conf.
