    <p>I don't see anything obviously wrong there.  If it's throwing on
      that line, it's likely that the unmarshaller is null, which means
      you didn't get anything back from the unmarshallerFactory.  That
      means something is likely not working with your initialization of
      the library.  I can't say anything more than that.  I'd suggest
      turning up logging to DEBUG or even TRACE on some or all of the
      OpenSAML packages to see what is actually happening, for example
      whether you are actually successfully reading and registering the
      XMLObject builders, marshallers and unmarshallers.<br>
