Hi, Working with the class RetrievalMethodResolver I got some problems, mainly when the retrieved content was transformed using an XPath Transformer. For example using a "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116"; transformer, if the query returned more than one node the code converted the result into a byte[]and tried to parse it again. That resulted in a fail, because the parser cannot parse the resulting structure. It also made an unnecessary reparsing of the retrieved nodes that caused an extra overhead.
To reproduce this error you can try to parse the signature provided inside data/org/apache/xml/security/temp/key/retrieval-from-same-doc.xml of the current release. When executing the xpath transformation (ancestor::my:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"thecert"]) 2 nodes where retrieved and when the method tried to parse the result to get a KeyInfo (or child) node an error was raised. I made a refactor of the code supporting this case and eliminating the need of reparse the xpath resulting set if the XmlSignatureInput contains a node (or nodeSet). I don't know how to contribute it so I post it to you, hoping that this will be useful to someone ;). Regards Dave Garcia
