How would I implement a metadata provider/export function in OpenSAML?

Question

Using OpenSAML, I'd like to provide the ability to either (1) export my metadata for a given federation to a file, or (2) provide a URL that a potential federation partner can visit to obtain the metadata for the federation I've set up for them. I know that both of these can be done, but I'm at a loss to find documentation or information about how to do this using the OpenSAML libraries.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

To answer my own question, there is nothing in the existing OpenSAML libraries to perform metadata export. This functionality must be written manually.
