Hi Radu,

The FAQ says prefixes are not kept when XML is read into the store: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlbeans/XmlBeansV1Faq#suggestedPrefixes If this is correct it'd mean that you could not verify signatures within XMLBeans - you'd have to have an external layer do the signature handling, before the data goes into the stroe, which seems pretty wasteful. I was curious about this since I'd think that maintaining XML-Signature compatibility would be important for some of the intended usages of XMLBeans.

Hi Dennis,
Can you give me a more detailed scenario? You _can_ load an XmlBean and
save it back and the prefixes will be preserved.

We had support for canonicalization in our plans, but we had to drop it,
mainly because we couldn't get anyone interested enough in the problem
involved :p

Thanks,
Radu

From a quick look it appears that XMLBeans is incompatible with XML Signature, since it doesn't retain all the information needed for XML Canonicalization (namespace prefixes, in particular). Are there any plans to change this and support XML Signature - or is the documentation

out of date and Canonicalization is already supported? Thanks,
