There are some use cases where using an unextractable private key results in
errors like this. See https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43056
for more info.
If this is the case, you must explicitly specify the java.security.Signature
Provider that works with your Safenet HSM by setting a property on the
XMLSignContext object, ex:
signContext.setProperty
("org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.SignatureProvider", new MyProvider());

Hi,
I am using the Apache XML Digital Signature RI to sign SAML 2.0 messages and
using a Safenet HSM. My code looks OK until it gets to the point of signing
when I get a null pointer exception.

Has anyone seen a similar error ?
