| <title>Overview of the Java Library</title> |
| <p> |
| The &packagenamelong; &packageversion; supports |
| <jump href="ext:w3c/xmldsig_java_supported">&supp_java_dsig; |
| </jump> and |
| <jump href="ext:w3c/xmlenc_java_supported">&supp_java_enc; |
| </jump> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| As of version 1.4, the Java library supports the standard Java API |
| <jump href="http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/105.jsp"> |
| JSR-105: XML Digital Signature APIs |
| </jump> for creating and validating XML Signatures. A standard Java |
| API for XML Encryption |
| <jump href="http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/106.jsp"> |
| JSR-106: XML Digital Encryption APIs |
| </jump> is in progress and is not final, so this |
| API is not yet supported. You can continue to use the existing |
| non-standard APIs in the Java Library (there are no plans |
| to discontinue or deprecate them), but you should consider moving |
| to the standard APIs. |

| <title>JDK 1.4 issues</title> |
| <p> |
| If you use JDK 1.4 and want to use this software, be sure that Xalan is |
| properly installed. Check the <jump |
| href="site:java/installation">installation guide</jump>!!! |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| I have so many complaints from people who argue that the software |
| throws exceptions during running the examples or during unit |
| testing. This package NEEDS a Xalan version after 2.2D13 (and SUN |
| shipped his JDK 1.4.0 final with a Xalan beta!). I started integrating |
| the installation guide into the exception messages cause it seems that |
| people don't have a look at the installation guide. |
