Interface SignatureProperty

  • All Superinterfaces:
    XMLStructure
    public interface SignatureProperty
extends XMLStructure
    A representation of the XML SignatureProperty element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML Schema Definition is defined as: 
    
<element name="SignatureProperty" type="ds:SignaturePropertyType"/>
   <complexType name="SignaturePropertyType" mixed="true">
     <choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
       <any namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>
       <!-- (1,1) elements from (1, unbounded) namespaces -->
     </choice>
     <attribute name="Target" type="anyURI" use="required"/>
     <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
   </complexType>
    A SignatureProperty instance may be created by invoking the newSignatureProperty method of the XMLSignatureFactory class; for example: 
       XMLSignatureFactory factory = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
   SignatureProperty property = factory.newSignatureProperty
      (Collections.singletonList(content), "#Signature-1", "TimeStamp");
    Since:
    1.6

    • Method Detail

      • getTarget

        String getTarget()
        Returns the target URI of this SignatureProperty.
        Returns:
        the target URI of this SignatureProperty (never null)

      • getId

        String getId()
        Returns the Id of this SignatureProperty.
        Returns:
        the Id of this SignatureProperty (or null if not specified)

      • getContent

        List<XMLStructure> getContent()
        Returns an unmodifiable list of one or more XMLStructures that are contained in this SignatureProperty. These represent additional information items concerning the generation of the XMLSignature (i.e. date/time stamp or serial numbers of cryptographic hardware used in signature generation).
        Returns:
        an unmodifiable list of one or more XMLStructures
