One of our OpenSAML users was inquiring about support for verifying signatures with XPointer References. His specific use case was: URI="#xpointer(/*[local-name()='Envelope']/*[local-name()='Header']/*[local-name()='Security']/*[local-name()='Assertion'][1])"
>From looking at the code, it seems the XPointer ResourceResolver impl currently available in the Java library (org.apache.xml.security.utils.resolver.implementations.ResolverXPointer) only supports simple XPointers of the form "#xpointer(id(ID_VALUE))" or the literal value "#xpointer(/)". Are there any plans to offer a more full-featured XPointer ResourceResolver implementation? Does anyone know of any available "unofficial" implementations? Thanks, Brent
