You do not need to, and should not, generate metadata. Metadata examples are all over the place and metadata cannot be pulled directly from the configuration anyway or it defeats the purpose of using it.

A 404 from the handler "tree" has to be diagnosed by determining what exactly the 404 is coming from. If it's Apache itself, then you simply cannot have even installed the module, or you've changed the handlerURL setting in the configuration, which you should not do.

A 404 from other software, such as e.g. a Java servlet engine like Tomcat running behind Apache, tends to be caused by proxying requests and failing to exclude /Shibboleth.sso/* from the paths being proxied.

You have logs and you have to use them to determine whether the software's even running or not.
