Re: [java] XMLSignature ctor

I'm using XMLSignature ctor like this:
 

XMLSignature sig = new XMLSignature(doc, BaseURI, docSig, docCan);

 

and got the following error:

 

org.apache.xml.security.exceptions.XMLSecurityException: Cannot create a 
http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#:Signature from a 
http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#:SignatureMethod element

I have checked node names with:

 

System.out.println(docSig.getNodeName());

System.out.println(docCan.getNodeName());

 

and the output is:

 

ds:Signature

ds:CanonicalizationMethod

 

Does anyone have some idea what could be wrong?

Yes, the docSig parameter should be the SignatureMethod element and not 
the Signature element.
