</span>I don't know how id="principal" works if you don't have a Data Connector<br>
defined. From your other emails, it sounds like you aren't querying a<br>
database. Either way, you'll need to get an appropriate Data Connector<br>
defined in attribute-resolver.xml and use that to retrieve attributes.<br>
