- All Superinterfaces:
- URIReference, XMLStructure
public interface Reference extends URIReference, XMLStructure
A representation of theReference
element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML schema is defined as:<element name="Reference" type="ds:ReferenceType"/> <complexType name="ReferenceType"> <sequence> <element ref="ds:Transforms" minOccurs="0"/> <element ref="ds:DigestMethod"/> <element ref="ds:DigestValue"/> </sequence> <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/> <attribute name="URI" type="anyURI" use="optional"/> <attribute name="Type" type="anyURI" use="optional"/> </complexType> <element name="DigestValue" type="ds:DigestValueType"/> <simpleType name="DigestValueType"> <restriction base="base64Binary"/> </simpleType>
A
Reference
instance may be created by invoking one of thenewReference
methods of theXMLSignatureFactory
class; for example:XMLSignatureFactory factory = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM"); Reference ref = factory.newReference ("http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3275.txt", factory.newDigestMethod(DigestMethod.SHA1, null));

Method Detail
-
getTransforms
List getTransforms()
- Returns:
- an unmodifiable list of
Transform
s (may be empty but nevernull
)
-
getDigestMethod
DigestMethod getDigestMethod()
Returns the digest method of thisReference
.- Returns:
- the digest method
-
getId
String getId()
Returns the optionalId
attribute of thisReference
, which permits this reference to be referenced from elsewhere.- Returns:
- the
Id
attribute (may benull
if not specified)
-
getDigestValue
byte[] getDigestValue()
Returns the digest value of thisReference
.- Returns:
- the raw digest value, or
null
if this reference has not been digested yet. Each invocation of this method returns a new clone to protect against subsequent modification.
-
getCalculatedDigestValue
byte[] getCalculatedDigestValue()
Returns the calculated digest value of thisReference
after a validation operation. This method is useful for debugging if the reference fails to validate.- Returns:
- the calculated digest value, or
null
if this reference has not been validated yet. Each invocation of this method returns a new clone to protect against subsequent modification.
-
validate
boolean validate(XMLValidateContext validateContext) throws XMLSignatureException
Validates this reference. This method verifies the digest of this reference.This method only validates the reference the first time it is invoked. On subsequent invocations, it returns a cached result.
- Parameters:
validateContext
- the validating context- Returns:
true
if this reference was validated successfully;false
otherwise- Throws:
NullPointerException
- ifvalidateContext
isnull
XMLSignatureException
- if an unexpected exception occurs while validating the reference
-
getDereferencedData
Data getDereferencedData()
Returns the dereferenced data, if reference caching is enabled. This is the result of dereferencing the URI of this reference during a validation or generation operation.- Returns:
- the dereferenced data, or
null
if reference caching is not enabled or this reference has not been generated or validated
-
getDigestInputStream
InputStream getDigestInputStream()
Returns the pre-digested input stream, if reference caching is enabled. This is the input to the digest operation during a validation or signing operation.- Returns:
- an input stream containing the pre-digested input, or
null
if reference caching is not enabled or this reference has not been generated or validated
