Jfyi, how to encode/decode SAML protocol messages is mandated in the
SAML specification, so usually there's nothing to configure. Either
the other end does it correctly (i.e., according to the spec; then it
Just Works) or not.
Without the full trace and without the actual, unmolested message, and
the binding used, there's nothing anyone here can do.

Interesting you're able to run the 2.4 IDP on Tomcat 5. I thought
you'd need at least 6.0.17 (cf. the docs for specifics).
And Java7 is now EOL'ed, so I won't even mention Java6 here.
