There should rather be:
try {
so.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
//Imposible
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
when the operation is impossible (You never know ;-) ).

Subject: XMLSignature class - The signer output stream is closed before
signing operation
Hi,
In the org.apache.xml.security.signature.XMLSignature class of the java XML
Security v1.4, I don't understand a piece of code in the "public void
sign(Key signingKey)" method.
-----------------------------
// generate digest values for all References in this SignedInfo
si.generateDigestValues();
OutputStream so=new UnsyncBufferedOutputStream(new SignerOutputStream(sa));
try {
so.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
//Imposible
}
// get the canonicalized bytes from SignedInfo
si.signInOctectStream(so);
-----------------------------
Why the output stream "so" object is closed ("so.close()") before the
signing operation ?
Regards,
Julien PASQUIER
