Is IDP tied to specific spring version?

[avalanche333]

I also experienced not Exception's being thrown or errors logged.
The Attributes defined in attribute-resolver using SAML2String were simply being ignored when Shibboleth config was loaded.
So at the time SAML Assertion was being built the attributes were never being added.

No, you are using a different version of Spring then me, I was on 3.0.5 you are using 3.2. Perhaps this was identified at a defect in the framework and addressed.
To me the logic in Spring did not make any sense.

I've successfully upgraded the IdP WAR to use Spring 3.2.x, and I have
not experienced any problems (yet). I have attributes that get passed
that use the SAML2String encoder, and no exceptions are thrown.
Everything appears to be working as it should.
