IV76240: NAMESPACE MISSING WHEN 'JAVAX.XML.CRYPTO.DSIG.CACHEREFERENCE' SE T TO TRUE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: When signing/verifying an XML element and if
  "javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference" is set to TRUE , an
  namespace node is not properly rendered although the below three
  conditions are met according to
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-exc-c14n/#sec-Specification :
  A namespace node N with a prefix that does not appear in the
  InclusiveNamespaces PrefixList is rendered if all of the
  conditions are met:
  1. Its parent element is in the node-set, and
  2. it is visibly utilized by its parent element, and
  3. the prefix has not yet been rendered by any output ancestor,
  or the nearest output ancestor of its parent element that
  visibly utilizes the namespace prefix does not have a namespace
  node in the node-set with the same namespace prefix and value as
  N.

  Stack Trace: N/A

Local fix

Problem summary

• Necessary namespace is missing when
  "javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference" set to TRUE
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is to keep the necessary namespace when
  "javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference" is set to TRUE. This
  makes the XML implementation behaves the same on handling
  namespace when "javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference" is set to
  TRUE or FALSE.
