DOMStructure

public class DOMStructure extends Object implements XMLStructure
A DOM-specific {@link XMLStructure}. The purpose of this class is to allow a DOM node to be used to represent extensible content (any elements or mixed content) in XML Signature structures.

If a sequence of nodes is needed, the node contained in the DOMStructure is the first node of the sequence and successive nodes can be accessed by invoking {@link Node#getNextSibling}.

If the owner document of the DOMStructure is different than the target document of an XMLSignature, the {@link XMLSignature#sign(XMLSignContext)} method imports the node into the target document before generating the signature.
