Hello All I wonder if I have been boycotted from the xml security mailing list, coz no one has addressed my plea for help with XML DSig.
Anyways, I have been able to generate and validate an enveloped signature. Another problem beckons me now, if someone could please help me out with it. It so happens that the signature element has to be inserted at a particular location in the XML DOM, because of which I cannot use the OwnerDocument.appendChild(xmlSignature.getElement()) But instead have to insert the signature at the location needed. Now this works fine so long as the generation is concerned, but when it comes to validation, it just wont work... If the dbf.setNamespaceAware(true) then the xpath just wont evaluate If the dbf.setNamespaceAware(false) then the xpath evaluates, but it cribs with the following error : ******************** org.apache.xml.security.exceptions.XMLSecurityException: Cannot create a null:null from a http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#:Signature element at org.apache.xml.security.utils.ElementProxy.guaranteeThatElementInCorrectSpace (Unknown Source) at org.apache.xml.security.utils.ElementProxy.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xml.security.utils.SignatureElementProxy.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xml.security.signature.XMLSignature.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.syntegra.xml.dsig.sign.XMLDSig.verify(XMLDSig.java:176) at com.syntegra.xml.dsig.sign.XMLDSig.main(XMLDSig.java:75) ********************* Can someone please tell me how do I got about validating such a XML Dsig ???? ******************************************************************** This email may contain information which is privileged or confidential.
