[Karla Borecky]

This is an example from the documentation for a different but semi-related
thing;

*Trivial Example* Collapse source
<bean id="shibboleth.SPNEGO.ActivationCondition" parent=
"shibboleth.Conditions.Scripted" factory-method="inlineScript"
        p:customObject-ref="shibboleth.HttpServletRequest">
    <constructor-arg>
        <value>
            <![CDATA[
                // Always run the SPNEGO authentication flow.
                true;
            ]]>
        </value>
    </constructor-arg>
</bean>
