## Class TransformService

- - javax.xml.crypto.dsig.TransformService

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    AlgorithmMethod, Transform, XMLStructure

      public abstract class TransformService
      extends Object
      implements Transform

  A Service Provider Interface for transform and canonicalization algorithms.

  Each instance of `TransformService` supports a specific transform or canonicalization algorithm and XML mechanism type. To create a `TransformService`, call one of the static `getInstance` methods, passing in the algorithm URI and XML mechanism type desired, for example:

  > `TransformService ts = TransformService.getInstance(Transform.XPATH2, "DOM");`

  `TransformService` implementations are registered and loaded using the `Provider` mechanism. Each `TransformService` service provider implementation should include a `MechanismType` service attribute that identifies the XML mechanism type that it supports. If the attribute is not specified, "DOM" is assumed. For example, a service provider that supports the XPath Filter 2 Transform and DOM mechanism would be specified in the `Provider` subclass as:

           put("TransformService." + Transform.XPATH2,
               "org.example.XPath2TransformService");
           put("TransformService." + Transform.XPATH2 + " MechanismType", "DOM");

  `TransformService` implementations that support the DOM mechanism type must abide by the DOM interoperability requirements defined in the DOM Mechanism Requirements section of the API overview. See the Service Providers section of the API overview for a list of standard mechanism types.

  Once a `TransformService` has been created, it can be used to process `Transform` or `CanonicalizationMethod` objects. If the `Transform` or `CanonicalizationMethod` exists in XML form (for example, when validating an existing `XMLSignature`), the `init(XMLStructure, XMLCryptoContext)` method must be first called to initialize the transform and provide document context (even if there are no parameters). Alternatively, if the `Transform` or `CanonicalizationMethod` is being created from scratch, the `init(TransformParameterSpec)` method is called to initialize the transform with parameters and the `marshalParams` method is called to marshal the parameters to XML and provide the transform with document context. Finally, the `transform` method is called to perform the transformation.

  Concurrent Access

  The static methods of this class are guaranteed to be thread-safe. Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in this class with no ill effects.

  However, this is not true for the non-static methods defined by this class. Unless otherwise documented by a specific provider, threads that need to access a single `TransformService` instance concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating a different `TransformService` instance need not synchronize.

    - #### getInstance

          public static TransformService getInstance(String algorithm,
                                                     String mechanismType)
                                              throws NoSuchAlgorithmException

      Returns a `TransformService` that supports the specified algorithm URI (ex: `Transform.XPATH2`) and mechanism type (ex: DOM).

      This method uses the standard JCA provider lookup mechanism to locate and instantiate a `TransformService` implementation of the desired algorithm and `MechanismType` service attribute. It traverses the list of registered security `Provider`s, starting with the most preferred `Provider`. A new `TransformService` object from the first `Provider` that supports the specified algorithm and mechanism type is returned.

      Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the `Security.getProviders()` method.

      Parameters:
        `algorithm` - the URI of the algorithm
        `mechanismType` - the type of the XML processing mechanism and representation
      Returns:
        a new `TransformService`
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `algorithm` or `mechanismType` is `null`
        `NoSuchAlgorithmException` - if no `Provider` supports a `TransformService` implementation for the specified algorithm and mechanism type
      See Also:
        `Provider`
