Re: Non dom based signature?

[Berin Lautenbach]

Vincent,

Try removing the line :

  ref->appendEnvelopedSignatureTransform();

That's telling the library to sign everything in the *current* document 
other than the signature, so it expects a local reference URI (URI="#ptr").

Cheers,
        Berin

Not so much a function.  If you create a Reference with a URI that 
points to the file you want to use, that should do the trick.


trying this and failing
I'm sure I am missing something obvious but I can't see any examples using URI and 
mine isn't working
I created a reference with a URI that points to the file and called sign and the sign 
function throws
"XPath requires DOM_NODES input type"
The function I use is below
Any idea what I am missing?
I have tried having the URI with and without the root node <DALML/> part with no 
difference
I have tried setting or not setting a URI resolver
and I have tried the generic and xerces resolvers
nothing helps
