33/**
34 * Contains context information for generating XML Signatures. This interface
35 * is primarily intended for type-safety.
36 *
37 * <p>Note that <code>XMLSignContext</code> instances can contain
38 * information and state specific to the XML signature structure it is
39 * used with. The results are unpredictable if an
40 * <code>XMLSignContext</code> is used with different signature structures
41 * (for example, you should not use the same <code>XMLSignContext</code>
42 * instance to sign two different {@link XMLSignature} objects).
43 * <p>
44 * <b><a name="Supported Properties"></a>Supported Properties</b>
45 * <p>The following properties can be set using the
46 * {@link #setProperty setProperty} method.
47 * <ul>
48 * <li><code>javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference</code>: value must be a
49 * {@link Boolean}. This property controls whether or not the digested
50 * {@link Reference} objects will cache the dereferenced content and
51 * pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via the
52 * {@link Reference#getDereferencedData Reference.getDereferencedData} and
53 * {@link Reference#getDigestInputStream Reference.getDigestInputStream}
54 * methods. The default value if not specified is
55 * <code>Boolean.FALSE</code>.
