XMLValidateContext

Class Overview

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

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

Supported Properties

The following properties can be set by an application using the setProperty method.

• javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference: value must be a Boolean. This property controls whether or not the Reference.validate method 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.

From interface javax.xml.crypto.XMLCryptoContext abstract Object get(Object key) Returns the value to which this context maps the specified key. abstract String getBaseURI() Returns the base URI. abstract String getDefaultNamespacePrefix() Returns the default namespace prefix. abstract KeySelector getKeySelector() Returns the key selector for finding a key. abstract String getNamespacePrefix(String namespaceURI, String defaultPrefix) Returns the namespace prefix that the specified namespace URI is associated with. abstract Object getProperty(String name) Returns the value of the specified property. abstract URIDereferencer getURIDereferencer() Returns a URIDereferencer that is used to dereference URIReferences. abstract Object put(Object key, Object value) Associates the specified value with the specified key in this context. abstract String putNamespacePrefix(String namespaceURI, String prefix) Maps the specified namespace URI to the specified prefix. abstract void setBaseURI(String baseURI) Sets the base URI. abstract void setDefaultNamespacePrefix(String defaultPrefix) Sets the default namespace prefix. abstract void setKeySelector(KeySelector ks) Sets the key selector for finding a key. abstract Object setProperty(String name, Object value) Sets the specified property. abstract void setURIDereferencer(URIDereferencer dereferencer) Sets a URIDereferencer that is used to dereference URIReferences.
