Oracle Weblogic no longer talks AJP at all. And mod_wl_22 is nothing more than an HTTP proxy. *grumbles*

Yes. I am extremely wary of the built in SAML implementation stuff.

Oracle (well, BEA) provided mod_wl (as in "weblogic") for that, IIRC but I have no idea how to pass envvars though that (or how it interacts with mod_shib, if mod_wl still even exists).

Yes. Still preferable to trying to get SAML to work (and keep things working over releases) in Weblogic, I suppose.
