Apache XML Security for Java supports XML-Signature Syntax and Processing,
W3C Recommendation 12 February 2002, and XML Encryption Syntax and
Processing, W3C Recommendation 10 December 2002. As of version 1.4,
the library supports the standard Java API JSR-105: XML Digital Signature APIs.

/**
* A representation of the XML RetrievalMethod
element as
* defined in the
* W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing.
* A RetrievalMethod
object is used to convey a reference to
* KeyInfo
information 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>
*
*
* A RetrievalMethod
instance may be created by invoking one of the
* {@link KeyInfoFactory#newRetrievalMethod newRetrievalMethod} methods
* of the {@link KeyInfoFactory} class, and passing it the URI
* identifying the location of the KeyInfo, an optional type URI identifying
* the type of KeyInfo, and an optional list of {@link Transform}s; for example:
*
* KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
* RetrievalMethod rm = factory.newRetrievalMethod
* ("#KeyValue-1", KeyValue.DSA_TYPE, Collections.singletonList(Transform.BASE64));
*
