All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface Statement

The Statement element is an extension point that allows other assertion-based applications to reuse the SAML assertion framework. SAML itself derives its core statements from this extension point. Its StatementAbstractType complex type is abstract and is thus usable only as the base of a derived type.
