Class KeyInfoFactory

- javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.KeyInfoFactory
-
public abstract class KeyInfoFactory extends Object
A factory for creatingKeyInfo
objects from scratch or for unmarshalling aKeyInfo
object from a corresponding XML representation.Each instance of
KeyInfoFactory
supports a specific XML mechanism type. To create aKeyInfoFactory
, call one of the staticgetInstance
methods, passing in the XML mechanism type desired, for example:KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
The objects that this factory produces will be based on DOM and abide by the DOM interoperability requirements as defined in the DOM Mechanism Requirements section of the API overview. See the Service Providers section of the API overview for a list of standard mechanism types.
KeyInfoFactory
implementations are registered and loaded using theProvider
mechanism. For example, a service provider that supports the DOM mechanism would be specified in theProvider
subclass as:put("KeyInfoFactory.DOM", "org.example.DOMKeyInfoFactory");
Also, the
XMLStructure
s that are created by this factory may contain state specific to theKeyInfo
and are not intended to be reusable.An implementation MUST minimally support the default mechanism type: DOM.
Note that a caller must use the same
KeyInfoFactory
instance to create theXMLStructure
s of a particularKeyInfo
object. The behavior is undefined ifXMLStructure
s from different providers or different mechanism types are used together.Concurrent Access
The static methods of this class are guaranteed to be thread-safe. Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in this class with no ill effects.
However, this is not true for the non-static methods defined by this class. Unless otherwise documented by a specific provider, threads that need to access a single
KeyInfoFactory
instance concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating a differentKeyInfoFactory
instance need not synchronize.- Since:
