Hi all,
I would like to create a class which extends the XMLSignature class
but it is not possible because XMLSignature class is declared as "final".
Is it possible te remove the "final" declaration from the XMLSecurity
class in the next release of XMLSecurity (v1.4.3) ?
The XMLSignature classes (org.apache.xml.security.signature.XMLSignature
and javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature) are not designed to be
subclassed. Instead, I would ask what you are trying to do and have you
considered other solutions?
Actually just org.apache.xml.security.signature.XMLSignature is final,
the other XMLSignature class (JSR 105) is an interface.
