</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

 issues a redirect)

 Each plugin is called multiple times,
 once for each metadata provider which is registered (Depending on the precise configuration of the WAYF
 metadata providers whose metadata does not include the target may be dropped).  Initially the plugin is
 called with a context parameter of <code>null</code>.  In subsequent calls, the value returned from
 the previous call is passed in as the context parameter. 
 
 The plugin may remove IdPSite objects from the validIdps list.
 
 The plugin may add or remove them to the idpList.  IdPSite Objects which are to be added to the idpList 
 should be looked up by EntityIdName in validIdps by EntityId.  Hence any metadata processing shoudl 
 store the entityID.</DL>

<DD>This method is called when the user specified a search operation.  The processing is similar to

 Two additional paramaters are provided, the search parameter which was provided, and the current 
 proposed list of candidate IdPs.  The plugin is at liberty to alter both the list of hints and the 
 list of valid IdPs.
