Description

org.apache.ws.security.saml.ext.bean.AttributeBean has the attributeValues defined as below:
private List<String> attributeValues;
AttributeStatement can have an attribute, whose value may not be strng.
As per the SAML2Core specification Attribute Value is defined as below:
<element name="AttributeValue" type="anyType" nillable="true" />
Hence the dataType of attributeValues needs to be changed from String to XMLObject.
