Interface XMLObject
- All Superinterfaces:
XMLStructure
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");
Manifest manifest = fac.newManifest(references);
List<XMLStructure> content = Collections.singletonList(manifest);
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.

getContent
List<XMLStructure> getContent()Returns anunmodifiable listofXMLStructures contained in thisXMLObject, which represent elements from any namespace.If there is a public subclass representing the type of
XMLStructure, it is returned as an instance of that class (ex: aSignaturePropertieselement would be returned as an instance ofSignatureProperties).- Returns:
- an unmodifiable list of
XMLStructures (may be empty but nevernull)
-
getId
-
getMimeType
String getMimeType()Returns the mime type of thisXMLObject. The mime type is an optional attribute which describes the data within thisXMLObject(independent of its encoding).- Returns:
- the mime type (or
nullif not specified)
-
getEncoding
String getEncoding()Returns the encoding URI of thisXMLObject. The encoding URI identifies the method by which the object is encoded.- Returns:
- the encoding URI (or
nullif not specified)
