Constructor & Destructor Documentation

opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider::AbstractMetadataProvider

(

const xercesc::DOMElement *

e = NULL

)

[protected]

Constructor.

If a DOM is supplied, a set of default logic will be used to identify and build a KeyInfoResolver plugin and install it into the provider.

The following XML content is supported:

• <KeyInfoResolver> elements with a type attribute

XML namespaces are ignored in the processing of these elements.

Parameters:

e

DOM to supply configuration for provider

Member Function Documentation

virtual void opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider::clearDescriptorIndex

(

bool

freeSites = false

)

[protected, virtual]

Clear the cache of known entities and groups.

Parameters:

freeSites

true iff the objects cached in the site map should be freed.

const EntitiesDescriptor* opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider::getEntitiesDescriptor	(	const char *	name,
		bool	requireValidMetadata = true
	)			const [virtual]

Gets the metadata for a given group of entities.

If a valid group is returned, the resolver will be left in a locked state. The caller MUST unlock the resolver when finished with the group.

Parameters:

	name	the name of the group
	requireValidMetadata	indicates whether the metadata for the group must be valid/current

Returns:

the group's metadata or NULL if there is no metadata or no valid metadata

Implements opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider.

std::pair<const EntityDescriptor*,const RoleDescriptor*> opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider::getEntityDescriptor

(

const Criteria &

criteria

)

const [virtual]

Gets entity metadata based on supplied criteria.

If a valid entity is returned, the provider will be left in a locked state. The caller MUST unlock the provider when finished with the entity.

Parameters:

criteria

lookup criteria

Returns:

the entity's metadata (and optionally a role) or NULL if there is no qualifying metadata

Implements opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider.

Reimplemented in opensaml::saml2md::DynamicMetadataProvider.

virtual void opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider::index	(	EntitiesDescriptor *	group,
		time_t	validUntil
	)			const [protected, virtual]

Loads a group of entities into the cache for faster lookup.

Parameters:

	group	group definition
	validUntil	maximum expiration time of the group definition

virtual void opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider::index	(	EntityDescriptor *	site,
		time_t	validUntil,
		bool	replace = false
	)			const [protected, virtual]

Loads an entity into the cache for faster lookup.

This includes processing known reverse lookup strategies for artifacts.

Parameters:

	site	entity definition
	validUntil	maximum expiration time of the entity definition
	replace	true iff existing entries for the same entity should be cleared/replaced
