+</PRE>
+
+<P>
+The Plugin interface is used to affect the 'hints' that the WAYF offers to the users.
+ <p>
+ The WAYF can register any number of plugins. Each plugin is called when the metadata is loaded or realoaded
+ (so it can do any indexing) and at the three entry points into the WAYF - Lookup (main entry), Search and Select.
+ Plugins are called in the order in which they are declared to the WAYF.
+ <p>
+ Each plugin is called once when the user has made a selection.
+ <p>
+ For Search and Lookup, each plugin is called multiple times, once for each metadata provider which has
+ been declared to this particular WAYF instance. The plugin can return a context which is handed to subsequent calls.
+ <p>
+ The idea is that each plugin can affect the displayed lists of IdPs. As a reminder the WAYF displays two lists of
+ IdPs - the complete list, displayed either as a single list or a list of lists, and the hint list (which was
+ previously only populated from the _saml_idp cookie. In the search case the WAYF displays a third list of
+ the search hits.
+ <p>
+ When the plugin in called it is given the current set of potential IdPs as a Map from EntityID to <A HREF="../../../../../../edu/internet2/middleware/shibboleth/wayf/IdPSite.html" title="class in edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.wayf"><CODE>IdPSite</CODE></A>
+ and lists representing the current hint list and search results. A Plugin can remove an entry from
+ the map or the lists. Additionally it can insert an IdPSite found in the Map into the hint or search lists.
+ Thus the plugin can restrict the number of sites that the WAYF instance displays in the 'complete list' and
+ can add or remove IdPs from the hint list.
+ <p>
+ At any stage the plugin can take control of the current request and redirect or forward it. It signals that
+ it has done this to the WAYF by means of an exception.
+ <p>
+ The _saml_idp cookie handling code is written as a WAYF plugin. Other plugins have been written to allow IdPs
+ to be presented as hints based on the client's IP address or to redirect back to the SP once the choice of
+ IdP has been made.
+ <p>
+ Object implementing this interface are created during WAYF discovery service initialization. There are
+ expected to implement a constructor which takes a <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Element.html" title="class or interface in org.w3c.dom"><CODE>Element</CODE></A> as the only parameter and they are
+ created via this constructor, with the parameter being the appropriate section of the WAYF configuration file
