Technology
The saml-md-aggregator is based on Spring 3. It uses a RESTful URL model and relies on the JAVA cryptography engine for key management and PKCS#11 as an interface to Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). In order to provide fast searching and lookup based on tags on metadata the saml-md-aggregator employs a graph database called neo4j Neo4j. The neo4j database doesn't store critical data and is only used as an index. If things break, just delete the database and it will get re-created on next restartis a very fast native graph store perfectly. The standalone jar uses the winstone servlet container.
