> There is no easy way to get Element object for EncryptedData. Getting xml element is needed for example for invoking setIdAttribute (when we want to sign this encrypted data).
> In the current version you have to use xpath to retrieve xml element which is not very efficient. It would be better to have a method getElement in EncryptedData which returns correct XML Element. Similar to KeyInfo class or XMLSignature like:
> KeyInfo key=new KeyInfo();
> Element keyInfoElement=key.getElement();
> There is another way to solve this problem. In EncryptedKey there is the following way to get XML Element:
> EncryptedKey encryptedKey=clipper.encryptKey(doc,secretKey.key);
> Element encryptedKeyElement=clipper.martial(encryptedKey);
> so for EncryptedData xml element could be returned by doFinal method like this:
> Element encryptedDataElement=clipper.doFinal(doc,elementToEncrypt.Element);
> Having getElement method for EncryptedData object would simplify a code and make it much faster.
