Class Signer

public class Signer
extends Object

This class is responsible for creating the digital signatures for the given signable XMLObjects. This must be done as a seperate step because in order to support the following cases:

• Multiple signable objects appear in the DOM tree, in which case the order that the objects should be signed in is not known (e.g. object 1 could appear first in the tree, but contain a reference to signable object 2)
• The DOM tree resulting from marshalling of the XMLObject tree is grafted onto another DOM tree which may cause element ID conflicts that would invalidate the signature
