    getValidity in interface MetadataContainer<T extends TimeBoundSAMLObject & SignableSAMLObject & CacheableSAMLObject>
    
    Returns:
    
    the validity time for the metadata
  - setValidity
```
public void setValidity(Duration validity)
```
    Assigns the duration of the validity that the encapsulated EntityDescriptor should have.
    The default value is DEFAULT_VALIDITY.
    
    Parameters:
    
    validity - the validity
  - getUpdateFactor
```
public float getUpdateFactor()
```
    Returns the factor (between 0 and 1) that is used to compute whether it is time to update the contained descriptor. The higher the factor, the more often the metadata is updated. The "is update required" computation is calculated as follows:
    if (expireInstant > now) { return <update-required> } else { return (updateFactor * getValidity()) > (expireInstant - now) ? <update-required> : <no-update-required> }
    The easiest way to get the meaning of the update factor is perhaps using words. Suppose the update factor is 0,5, then the meaning is: "update the metadata when less than 50% of its original validity time remains".
    Specified by:
    
    getUpdateFactor in interface MetadataContainer<T extends TimeBoundSAMLObject & SignableSAMLObject & CacheableSAMLObject>

public void setUpdateFactor(float updateFactor)

    Parameters:
    
    updateFactor - the update factor
    
    See Also:
    
    getUpdateFactor()
  - getIdSize
```
public int getIdSize()
```
    Returns the size of the ID attribute that is generated.
    
    Returns:
    
    the size
  - setIdSize
```
public void setIdSize(int idSize)
```
    Assigns the size of the ID attribute that is generated.
    The default value is DEFAULT_DESCRIPTOR_ID_SIZE.
