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