how to implement SAML sso using Java, Java EE

Question

I am newbie to SAML 2.0. I was unable to find a book on SAML on amazon which will guide you how to get started with SAML, especially SAML2.0.

What I am looking for an end to end SSO demo app development using SAML and an Identity Provider (Open Source), so that I can simulate end to SSO. So what I mean by that is, generate a token from Identity provider, process SAML message/send response back etc and then create 2 or more domain/logins to simulate SSO with success or error message.

Any tutorial/book/resource you know for novice to intermediate or advance on SSO with SAML will be appreciated.

Lastly how to use SAML in WS-Security?
