Yes. in this case i also saw both of them identical from the c14n perspective.   You must have some other difference.   ----- Original Message ----- From: David Wall - Yozons Inc.

For example : Orignal XML content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <div id="main"></div>   DOM o/p using XMLUtils.outputDOMc14nWithComments( <div id="main"></div>   JDOM O/P converted from DOM using XMLOutputter: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <div id="main" />   I think thats why it doesn't valid the DOM converted from JDOM. Can any expert suggest me a way to resolve the issue. Isn't the point of canonicalization to remove such problems from syntactically equivalent XML?   It seems that the element is the same, has the same value and same attributes with the same values, so they should be treated as the same data from a digital signing perspective.
