Re: JDOM - Sign validation

[Martin Labarthe Dubois]

you can try saving the XML to a file, and reading from it, when traspasing from one format to another and viceversa. JDOM <-> DOM   moreover, i usually use IBMXMLSecurity suite to test the file just typing java dsig.VerifyGUI "filename.xml"     ----- Original Message ----- From: chirsmail sapl To: security-dev@xml.apache.org Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 2:31 PM Subject: Re: JDOM - Sign validation thanks for the reply.When i print DOM and DOM converted from JDOM seems to be same.I see lot of difference on the object level of signed DOM and DOM converted from JDOM.Because the signing of DOM converted from JDOM work well.After updating the DOM into JDOM and then convert the JDOM back to DOM ,the vaildation fails.   I think if i get the exact singed DOM out of JDOM , i should be able to valid the sign.But don't know how to get the exact DOM out of JDOM for validation.

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.
