package javax.xml.crypto;

Contains common context information for XML cryptographic operations.

This interface contains methods for setting and retrieving properties that affect the processing of XML signatures or XML encrypted structures.

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

Sets a URIDereferencer that is used to dereference URIReferences. The specified URIDereferencer is used in place of an implementation's default URIDereferencer.

Returns the namespace prefix that the specified namespace URI is associated with. Returns the specified default prefix if the specified namespace URI has not been bound to a prefix. To bind a namespace URI to a prefix, call the putNamespacePrefix method.
Params:
  • namespaceURI – a namespace URI
  • defaultPrefix – the prefix to be returned in the event that the the specified namespace URI has not been bound to a prefix.
Throws:
See Also:
Returns:the prefix that is associated with the specified namespace URI, or defaultPrefix if the URI is not registered. If the namespace URI is registered but has no prefix, an empty string ("") is returned.

String getNamespacePrefix(String namespaceURI, String defaultPrefix);
Maps the specified namespace URI to the specified prefix. If there is already a prefix associated with the specified namespace URI, the old prefix is replaced by the specified prefix.
Params:
  • namespaceURI – a namespace URI
  • prefix – a namespace prefix (or null to remove any existing mapping). Specifying the empty string ("") binds no prefix to the namespace URI.
Throws:
See Also:
Returns:the previous prefix associated with the specified namespace URI, or null if there was none

String putNamespacePrefix(String namespaceURI, String prefix);
Returns the default namespace prefix. The default namespace prefix is the prefix for all namespace URIs not explicitly set by the putNamespacePrefix method.
See Also:

String getDefaultNamespacePrefix();
Sets the default namespace prefix. This sets the namespace prefix for all namespace URIs not explicitly set by the putNamespacePrefix method.
Params:
  • defaultPrefix – the default namespace prefix, or null to remove the current setting. Specify the empty string ("") to bind no prefix.

Sets the specified property.
Params:

  • value – the value of the property to be set
Throws:
See Also:
Returns:the previous value of the specified property, or null if it did not have a value

Object getProperty(String name);
Returns the value to which this context maps the specified key.

More formally, if this context contains a mapping from a key k to a value v such that (key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k)), then this method returns v; otherwise it returns null. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

This method is useful for retrieving arbitrary information that is specific to the cryptographic operation that this context is used for.

Params:
  • key – the key whose associated value is to be returned
See Also:
Returns:the value to which this context maps the specified key, or null if there is no mapping for the key
/** * Returns the value to which this context maps the specified key. * * <p>More formally, if this context contains a mapping from a key * <code>k</code> to a value <code>v</code> such that * <code>(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))</code>, then this method * returns <code>v</code>; otherwise it returns <code>null</code>.

Object get(Object key);
Associates the specified value with the specified key in this context. If the context previously contained a mapping for this key, the old value is replaced by the specified value.

This method is useful for storing arbitrary information that is specific to the cryptographic operation that this context is used for.

Params:
  • key – key with which the specified value is to be associated with
  • value – value to be associated with the specified key
Throws:

Returns:the previous value associated with the key, or null if there was no mapping for the key
