## javax.xml.crypto.dsig
Interface XMLSignContext

All Superinterfaces:
  XMLCryptoContext

All Known Implementing Classes:
  DOMSignContext

    public interface XMLSignContext

extends XMLCryptoContext

Contains context information for generating XML Signatures. This interface is primarily intended for type-safety.

Note that `XMLSignContext` instances can contain information and state specific to the XML signature structure it is used with. The results are unpredictable if an `XMLSignContext` is used with different signature structures (for example, you should not use the same `XMLSignContext` instance to sign two different `XMLSignature` objects).

Supported Properties

The following properties can be set using the `setProperty` method.

- `javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference`: value must be a `Boolean`. This property controls whether or not the digested `Reference` objects will cache the dereferenced content and pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via the `Reference.getDereferencedData` and `Reference.getDigestInputStream` methods. The default value if not specified is `Boolean.FALSE`.

Since:
  1.6
