Resolving custom ID attributes

[Alistair Young <al...@smo.uhi.ac.uk>]

Is there a way to search a document to find custom ID attributes. e.g. 
if a consumer service wants to verify signatures from a producer 
service where the sig is based on a non "standard" ID attribute ("id" 
etc.), say "customID", can the consumer override any Xerces classes to 
look for know ID attributes to verify the signature?

Dom3 has setIdAttributeNS but you need dom3 for that!

thanks,
Alistair

thanks. I have an xsd that declares an attribute as type="ID", e.g.

<attribute name="customID" type="ID" use="required"/>

Could I load this schema into xerces to allow me to do this:

<data customID="dataTag">
...
XmlSignature.addDocument("#dataTag", transforms);

or does xmlsig work differently?

thanks,
Alistair

If the attribute is declared as an ID in the DTD, the normal operations
will find it whether or not it is named "id".

If it isn't, you get to implement your own solution...
