13  * Contains context information for generating XML Signatures. This interface
14  * is primarily intended for type-safety.
15  *
16  * <p>Note that <code>XMLSignContext</code> instances can contain
17  * information and state specific to the XML signature structure it is
18  * used with. The results are unpredictable if an
19  * <code>XMLSignContext</code> is used with different signature structures
20  * (for example, you should not use the same <code>XMLSignContext</code>
21  * instance to sign two different {@link XMLSignature} objects).
22  * <p>
23  * <b><a name="Supported Properties"></a>Supported Properties</b>
24  * <p>The following properties can be set using the
25  * {@link #setProperty setProperty} method.
26  * <ul>
27  * <li><code>javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference</code>: value must be a
28  * {@link Boolean}. This property controls whether or not the digested
29  * {@link Reference} objects will cache the dereferenced content and
30  * pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via the
31  * {@link Reference#getDereferencedData Reference.getDereferencedData} and
32  * {@link Reference#getDigestInputStream Reference.getDigestInputStream}
33  * methods. The default value if not specified is
34  * <code>Boolean.FALSE</code>.
