Class Signer

java.lang.Object

org.opensaml.xmlsec.signature.support.Signer

public final class Signer
extends java.lang.Object

A service class which is responsible for cryptographically computing and storing the actual digital signature content held within a Signature instance. This must be done as a separate step in order to support the following cases:

• Multiple signable objects appear in the DOM tree, in which case the order that the objects should be signed in is not known (e.g. object 1 could appear first in the tree, but contain a reference to signable object 2)
• The DOM tree resulting from marshalling of the XMLObject tree is grafted onto another DOM tree which may cause element ID conflicts that would invalidate the signature
