A representation of the
Reference
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 the
newReference
methods of the
XMLSignatureFactory
class; for example:
XMLSignatureFactory factory = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
Reference ref = factory.newReference
("http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3275.txt",
factory.newDigestMethod(DigestMethod.SHA1, null));
