Mechanically, yes, there's a block of script, it will give you the EntityDescriptor as "input", and you return true or false. The rest is very much a case of "it depends".

However, I think you're just calling a Java String method there (matches), which I would think will work. It's slower obviously since that's compiling the regex every call, but that's the difference between simple and optimized.

I do not see, offhand, an actual class that does this. There's an EntityIdPredicate class in OpenSAML that's the non-regex equivalent but not the regex alternative.
