Getting SP's Description

Thu Nov 10 19:40:47 GMT 2011

Thanks Kevin Foote.

Actually I was getting the EntityID that way to customize the login screen. But with the EntityID how to get the description.

I saw this below code from the documentation.
But I couldn't get the API to see available methods in the interface EntityDescriptor.

LoginContext loginContext = HttpServletHelper.getLoginContext(HttpServletHelper.getStorageService(application),
                                                                  application, request);
    Session userSession = HttpServletHelper.getUserSession(request);
     RelyingPartyConfigurationManager rpConfigMngr = HttpServletHelper.getRelyingPartyConfigurationManager(application);

     EntityDescriptor metadata = HttpServletHelper.getRelyingPartyMetadata(loginContext.getRelyingPartyId(), rpConfigMngr);

The "old" way :-) 
I paraphrased a bunch but you can probably get the idea. 

<%@ page
import="edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.idp.authn.LoginContext" %>

...

<%
    LoginContext loginContext =
HttpServletHelper.getLoginContext(HttpServletHelper.getStorageService(application),^M
                                                                  application,
request);
....
%>

<html>
...otherlayout..

<% if (loginContext != null) {
        String resourceId=loginContext.getRelyingPartyId(); %>

<p align="left">Requesting resource: <%= resourceId %> </p>

...

</html>

------
thanks
