Summary: Reusing XMLSignature for signing and verifying fails on same thread Product: Security Version: Java 1.4.2 Platform: PC URL: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xml-security- dev/200903.mbox/%3cgq97pt$e5...@ger.gmane.org%3e OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Signature AssignedTo: security-dev@xml.apache.org ReportedBy: bruno.harbu...@manchester.ac.uk Created an attachment (id=23543) --> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=23543) Maven2 test-case If the same instance of XMLSignature is used on the same thread for verifying after being used for signing, this exception occurs: org.apache.xml.security.signature.XMLSignatureException: object not initialized for verification If the verification is done on a different thread, it works fine. I believe this is due to: due to org.apache.xml.security.algorithms.SignatureAlgorithm#initializeAlgorithm(boolean): private void initializeAlgorithm(boolean isForSigning) throws XMLSignatureException { if (_signatureAlgorithm!=null) { return; } _signatureAlgorithm=isForSigning ? getInstanceForSigning(algorithmURI) : getInstanceForVerify(algorithmURI); this._signatureAlgorithm .engineGetContextFromElement(this._constructionElement); } If '_signatureAlgorithm' has already been initialised, even if it's not for the purpose intended for another use, it won't be initialised again. Commenting out the 'if' block solves the problem. I've noticed that there was an 'isForSigning' field commented out in revision 515521 ( https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?view=rev&rev=515521 ), which completely disappeared in revision 695520 ( https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?view=rev&rev=695520 ) (current one). I guess it might have been the original intent for this flag. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
