@authenio/xsd-schema-validator Incompatible with AWS Lambda

[shellscape]

Because @authenio/xsd-schema-validator uses Java within the package to run an actual Java file, it requires javac to be installed somewhere on the executing system. When running a Node app in AWS Lambda, Java is not available.

I opened an issue here nikku/node-xsd-schema-validator#20 but I'm not hopeful for a response.

Please consider leveraging a different module as a replacement. This was a really unfortunate roadblock to hit after spending a lot of time investing in samlify as a solution.

If you are using the latest version of samlify, we do have other options of schema validator that user can import dynamically.

I'm using the latest version of samlify, but went on the recommendation of the docs. I'll give them a second look and see if so can spot what you mean

@shellscape Referring to the samlify README,

import * as samlify from 'samlify';
import * as validator from '@authenio/samlify-xsd-schema-validator';
// import * as validator from '@authenio/samlify-validate-with-xmllint';
// import * as validator from '@authenio/samlify-node-xmllint';
// import * as validator from '@authenio/samlify-libxml-xsd'; // only support for version of nodejs <= 8

// const validator = require('@authenio/samlify-xsd-schema-validator');
// const validator = require('@authenio/samlify-validate-with-xmllint');
// const validator = require('@authenio/samlify-node-xmllint');
// const validator = require('@authenio/samlify-libxml-xsd');

samlify.setSchemaValidator(validator);

You can apply different validator module, I could change it to the most popular one which is @authenio/samlify-node-xmllint.

ah wonderful! would it be OK if I opened a PR with some additional language for the docs?

@shellscape Sure, feel free to open.
