Class RetrievalMethodResolver

public class RetrievalMethodResolver extends KeyResolverSpi
The RetrievalMethodResolver can retrieve public keys and certificates from other locations. The location is specified using the ds:RetrievalMethod element which points to the location. This includes the handling of raw (binary) X.509 certificate which are not encapsulated in an XML structure. If the retrieval process encounters an element which the RetrievalMethodResolver cannot handle itself, resolving of the extracted element is delegated back to the KeyResolver mechanism.
