Creation of DataConnector

[Giuseppe Peletti]

Hi Rod,
luckily I know Spring very well; what I don¹t understand is the
Shibboleth¹s logic to create/configure the DataConnector, grab the value
of the username from the request and return some values based on the input.

If it was just setting properties in spring xml file it would be very easy
;-)
