Sorry, missed this part.  In that case, your servlet doesn't need to 
implement LoginHandler, it needs to set the request variables that 
LoginHandlers use to communicate with the AuthenticationEngine. See IdP 
source comments at beginning of 
/src/main/java/edu/internet2/middleware/shibboleth/idp/authn/LoginHandler.java 
for the specifics.
