Method Detail

canonicalizeNodeset

public static byte[] canonicalizeNodeset(org.w3c.dom.Node node,
                                         boolean withComments)
                                  throws XMLException

Canonicalizes the Node object and all its descendants and produces an octet stream.

Parameters

	node		The Node object to canonicalize.
	withComments		A boolean indicating whether to include comment-nodes in the result. If true, the result contains comment-nodes; if false, it does not.

Returns

A byte array containing the canonicalized result. If the input node is null, this method returns null.

Throws

XMLException - If an error occurs while canonicalizing the input.

canonicalizeNodeset

public static byte[] canonicalizeNodeset(org.w3c.dom.NodeList nodeList,
                                         boolean withComments)
                                  throws XMLException

Canonicalizes each node stored in the NodeList object and produces an octet stream.

Parameters

	nodeList		The NodeList object to canonicalize.
	withComments		A boolean indicating whether to include comment-nodes in the result. If true, the result contains comment-nodes; if false, it does not.

Returns

A byte array containing the canonicalized result. If the input node is null, this method returns null.

Throws

XMLException - If an error occurs while canonicalizing the input.
