/**

 * Contains context information for validating XML Signatures. This interface

 * <p>Note that <code>XMLValidateContext</code> instances can contain

 * information and state specific to the XML signature structure it is

 * used with. The results are unpredictable if an

 * <code>XMLValidateContext</code> is used with different signature structures

 * (for example, you should not use the same <code>XMLValidateContext</code>

 * instance to validate two different {@link XMLSignature} objects).

 * <b><a name="SupportedProperties"></a>Supported Properties</b>

 * <p>The following properties can be set by an application using the

 * {@link #setProperty setProperty} method.

 * <ul>

 *   <li><code>javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference</code>: value must be a

 *      {@link Boolean}. This property controls whether or not the

 *      {@link Reference#validate Reference.validate} method will cache the

 *      dereferenced content and pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via

 *      the {@link Reference#getDereferencedData Reference.getDereferencedData}

 *      and {@link Reference#getDigestInputStream

 *      Reference.getDigestInputStream} methods. The default value if not
