Hi Stephen,
I would convert the XML String to a DOM Element + use the WSS4J
AssertionWrapper, e.g.:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(assertionString.getBytes());
Document newDoc = dbf.newDocumentBuilder().parse(in);
SamlAssertionWrapper newAssertion =
new SamlAssertionWrapper(newDoc.getDocumentElement());
Colm.
