32/**
33 * Contains context information for validating XML Signatures. This interface
34 * is primarily intended for type-safety.
35 *
36 * <p>Note that <code>XMLValidateContext</code> instances can contain
37 * information and state specific to the XML signature structure it is
38 * used with. The results are unpredictable if an
39 * <code>XMLValidateContext</code> is used with different signature structures
40 * (for example, you should not use the same <code>XMLValidateContext</code>
41 * instance to validate two different {@link XMLSignature} objects).
42 * <p>
43 * <b><a name="Supported Properties"></a>Supported Properties</b>
44 * <p>The following properties can be set by an application using the
45 * {@link #setProperty setProperty} method.
46 * <ul>
47 * <li><code>javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference</code>: value must be a
48 * {@link Boolean}. This property controls whether or not the
49 * {@link Reference#validate Reference.validate} method will cache the
50 * dereferenced content and pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via
51 * the {@link Reference#getDereferencedData Reference.getDereferencedData}
52 * and {@link Reference#getDigestInputStream
53 * Reference.getDigestInputStream} methods. The default value if not
54 * specified is <code>Boolean.FALSE</code>.
