package javax.xml.crypto.dsig;
import java.util.List;
import javax.xml.crypto.XMLStructure;
A representation of the XML Object element as defined in
the
W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing.
An XMLObject may contain any data and may include optional
MIME type, ID, and encoding attributes. The XML Schema Definition is
defined as:
<element name="Object" type="ds:ObjectType"/>
<complexType name="ObjectType" mixed="true">
<sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<any namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
</sequence>
<attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
<attribute name="MimeType" type="string" use="optional"/>
<attribute name="Encoding" type="anyURI" use="optional"/>
</complexType>
A XMLObject instance may be created by invoking the newXMLObject method of the XMLSignatureFactory class; for example: XMLSignatureFactory fac = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
List content = Collections.singletonList(fac.newManifest(references)));
XMLObject object = factory.newXMLObject(content, "object-1", null, null);
Note that this class is named XMLObject rather than
Object to avoid naming clashes with the existing java.lang.Object class.

Returns an unmodifiable
list of XMLStructures contained in this XMLObject,
which represent elements from any namespace.
If there is a public subclass representing the type of
XMLStructure, it is returned as an instance of that class
(ex: a SignatureProperties element would be returned as an instance of SignatureProperties).
