I'm not sure what the cause of your confusion is exactly. In the sample code when it is calling "sig.addDocument(URI)" it is signing the XML document available at that URI. The Javaworld tutorial you linked to does not sign any external resource.
I'm not sure what to recommend in terms of helping to better understand the library. I guess continue going through the rest of the samples and then take a look at the unit tests in the source code for more in-depth testing. I guess we could do with some tutorials on the webpage...
