xml.Signature.compute

Syntax

compute(
   doc xml.DomDocument )

1. doc is the XML document.

Usage

If the signature type is:

• Enveloping: then doc must be NULL because all document fragment references are inside the Signature itself
• Enveloped: then doc must be the XML document where the signature must be added afterwards to get a valid enveloped signature
• Detached: then doc can be NULL if all references are absolute, otherwise it can be the XML document the fragment references are referencing

See XML Signature concepts for more details.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the STATUS variable with the appropriate error number.
