Hi, I am trying to generate response redirect using "Saml2RedirectAuthenticationRequest" class. But, when making the redirect getting the below error.

"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: samlRequest cannot be null or empty"

I understand need to create a samlRequest object but unable to find any document of how to. Below is the sample code am using to generate the request redirection

Saml2RedirectAuthenticationRequest authnRequest = Saml2RedirectAuthenticationRequest
                    .withRelyingPartyRegistration(relyingPartyRegsitration)
                    .relayState(relayState)
                    .build();

String encodedRequest = URI.create(authnRequest.getAuthenticationRequestUri().toString()).toASCIIString();
response.sendRedirect(encodedRequest);

Requesting some help here.
