MessageExtension getExtension(ParameterList parameterList,
                            boolean isRequest)
                              throws MessageException

Builds a MessageExtension from a parameter list containing the extension-specific parameters.

The parameters MUST NOT contain the openid. prefix.

Parameters:

parameterList - The extension parameters with the openid. prefix removed.

isRequest - Indicates whether the parameters were extracted from an openid request (true), or from an openid response (false). This may assist the factory implementation in determining what object type to instantiate.

Returns:

MessageExtension implementation for the supplied extension parameters.

Throws:

MessageException
