Re: XMLCipher.enryptData()

[Berin Lautenbach]

Oleg,
Can you use doFinal?  Same thing, but it's the wrapper interface.
Or do you need to access the EncryptedData afterward?
But to answer your question - absolutely no reason for it to be private, 
unless Axl has some thoughts?  (If I don't get a -1 I'll make the change 
in CVS.)

Cheers,
        Berin

We expect following encrypted data in SOAP:
<soap:Envelope>
        <soap:Header>
                <wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1">
                        <xenc:EncryptedKey>
                        ...
                        </xenc:EncryptedKey>
                </wsse:Security>
                <xenc:EncryptedData Id="EncryptedHeader" 
                           Type="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Content";>
                .....
                </xenc:EncryptedData>
        </soap:Header>
        <soap:Body>
                <xenc:EncryptedData Id="EncryptedBody" 
                           Type="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Content";>
                .....
                </xenc:EncryptedData>
        </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

So to make this i use the Axis Handler where:
1. XMLCipher xmlCipher = XMLCipher.getInstance(XMLCipher.TRIPLEDES, 
XMLCipher.EXCL_XML_N14C_WITH_COMMENTS);
2. xmlCipher.init(XMLCipher.ENCRYPT_MODE,  privateKey);
3. Get w3c.Element for both soap:Header and soap:Body and than encrypt
them without changing the context w3c.Document. This achieved with
     EncryptedData encHeaderData = xmlCipher.encryptData(msgXmlDoc, soapHeader, true);
     EncryptedData encBodyData = xmlCipher.encryptData(msgXmlDoc, soapHeader, true);
Afterwards   these   enryptedData   used  to  substitute  the  actual
soap:Header and soap:Body content with (ie for soap:Header):
     Element encryptedHeader = xmlCipher.martial(msgXmlDoc, encHeaderData);
     org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement headerElement =
                        new org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement(encryptedHeader);
     soapEnvelop.removeHeaders();
     soapEnvelop.addHeader(headerElement);
Sorry for verbosity, but just got acquainted with XMLSec and might not
in   a   right   way   when   doing   my  encryption.  My  way  needs
XMLCipher.enryptData(Document   context,   Element  element,  boolean
contentMode)  to be public. Parsing the code I did not find any reason
why not. So is it possible to make so in later releases?
Thanks
