 public interface RetrievalMethod extends URIReference, XMLStructure A representation of the XMLRetrievalMethodelement as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. ARetrievalMethodobject is used to convey a reference toKeyInfoinformation that is stored at another location. The XML schema definition is defined as:<element name="RetrievalMethod" type="ds:RetrievalMethodType"/> <complexType name="RetrievalMethodType"> <sequence> <element name="Transforms" type="ds:TransformsType" minOccurs="0"/> </sequence> <attribute name="URI" type="anyURI"/> <attribute name="Type" type="anyURI" use="optional"/> </complexType>ARetrievalMethodinstance may be created by invoking one of thenewRetrievalMethodmethods of theKeyInfoFactoryclass, and passing it the URI identifying the location of the KeyInfo, an optional type URI identifying the type of KeyInfo, and an optional list ofTransforms; for example:KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM"); RetrievalMethod rm = factory.newRetrievalMethod ("#KeyValue-1", KeyValue.DSA_TYPE, Collections.singletonList(Transform.BASE64));

Method Detail- 
getTransformsList<Transform> getTransforms() - Returns:
- an unmodifiable list of Transformobjects (may be empty but nevernull).
 
 - 
getURIString getURI() Returns the URI of the referencedKeyInfoinformation.- Specified by:
- getURIin interface- URIReference
- Returns:
- the URI of the referenced KeyInfoinformation in RFC 2396 format (nevernull)
 
 - 
dereferenceData dereference(XMLCryptoContext context) throws URIReferenceException Dereferences theKeyInfoinformation referenced by thisRetrievalMethodand applies the specifiedTransforms.- Parameters:
- context- an- XMLCryptoContextthat may contain additional useful information for dereferencing the URI. The context's- baseURIand- dereferencerparameters (if specified) are used to resolve and dereference this- RetrievalMethod
- Returns:
- a Dataobject representing the raw contents of theKeyInfoinformation referenced by thisRetrievalMethod. It is the caller's responsibility to convert the returned data to an appropriateKeyInfoobject.
- Throws:
- NullPointerException- if- contextis- null
- URIReferenceException- if there is an error while dereferencing
