Contains context information for generating XML Signatures. This interface is primarily intended for type-safety.

Note that XMLSignContext instances can contain information and state specific to the XML signature structure it is used with. The results are unpredictable if an XMLSignContext is used with different signature structures (for example, you should not use the same XMLSignContext instance to sign two different XMLSignature objects).

Supported Properties

The following properties can be set using the setProperty method.

• javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference: value must be a Boolean. This property controls whether or not the digested Reference objects will cache the dereferenced content and pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via the Reference.getDereferencedData and Reference.getDigestInputStream methods. The default value if not specified is Boolean.FALSE.
