Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public byte[]	getCalculatedDigestValue() Returns the calculated digest value of this Reference after a validation operation. This method is useful for debugging if the reference fails to validate. return 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.
public javax.xml.crypto.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. return the dereferenced data, or null if reference caching is not enabled or this reference has not been generated or validated
public java.io.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. return 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
public javax.xml.crypto.dsig.DigestMethod	getDigestMethod() Returns the digest method of this Reference. return the digest method
public byte[]	getDigestValue() Returns the digest value of this Reference. return 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.
public java.lang.String	getId() Returns the optional Id attribute of this Reference, which permits this reference to be referenced from elsewhere. return the Id attribute (may be null if not specified)
public java.util.List	getTransforms() Returns an {@link java.util.Collections#unmodifiableList unmodifiable list} of {@link Transform}s that are contained in this Reference. return an unmodifiable list of Transforms (may be empty but never null)
public boolean	validate(javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLValidateContext validateContext) 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. return true if this reference was validated successfully; false otherwise param validateContext the validating context throws NullPointerException if validateContext is null throws XMLSignatureException if an unexpected exception occurs while validating the reference
