A representation of the XML
Object
element as defined in
the
W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing.
An
XMLObject
may contain any data and may include optional
MIME type, ID, and encoding attributes. The XML Schema Definition is
defined as:
<element name="Object" type="ds:ObjectType"/>
<complexType name="ObjectType" mixed="true">
<sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<any namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
</sequence>
<attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
<attribute name="MimeType" type="string" use="optional"/>
<attribute name="Encoding" type="anyURI" use="optional"/>
</complexType>
A
XMLObject
instance may be created by invoking the
newXMLObject
method of the
XMLSignatureFactory
class; for example:
XMLSignatureFactory fac = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
List content = Collections.singletonList(fac.newManifest(references)));
XMLObject object = factory.newXMLObject(content, "object-1", null, null);
Note that this class is named XMLObject
rather than
Object
to avoid naming clashes with the existing
java.lang.Object
class.
