Ah, sometime ago, we tried to implement a XADES class with some special behaviour (mainly to manage big files, you know: the c14n issues with big files),...
In our first design, the "elegant one" we decided to extend org.apache.xml.security.signature.XMLSignature with our methods for big files. But we could not because of the "final" keyword So I was in the same point about the "final" keyword and I am interested in solutions or designs for this kind of requirements.....

I would like implement a XAdESSignature class which extends the org.apache.xml.security.signature.XMLSignature class.
