Looking up Entity Category's

[Rhian Resnick]

Gotcha we did create a similar method to access the same type of metadata in velocity. Likely will do something similar.


Thanks for the input.

They're inside the metadata, which is below a complex structure of contexts that's accessible via RelyingPartyContext.getRelyingPartyContextTree. That returns a SAMLPeerEntityContext, below which is normally a SAMLMetadataContext that will contain the metadata for the SP. From there it's a process of navigating the metadata structure to the extension content and the objects implementing that extension.

There are various functions and classes that illustrate some of that, mostly org.opensaml.saml.common.profile.logic.EntityAttributesPredicate for the final "mile".

Realistically if I was doing it, I'd be wiring up Spring objects to actually drive an instance of EntityAttributesPredicate and run it against the EntityDescriptor so I didn't have to reimplement that in a script.
