I just posted the initial beta release of Apache XML Security 1.4.2.
Configuring the logging properties for JSR 105 and Apache XML Signature applications.

A while ago, I blogged about XML Signature debugging and how to configure the logging mechanism to emit debug information.
This configuration works if you are using the JSR 105 bundled with JDK 6.
Using JSR 105 with JDK 1.4 or 1.5

JSR 105 (XML Digital Signature API) is included with JDK 6, but is also available separately, for example as part of the Apache XML Security Project. This allows you to use the JSR with earlier JDK/JREs such as JDK 1.4 or JDK 5.

In a previous blog entry, I wrote about how to enable logging to get debugging output when using the Java XML DSig API to validate an XML Signature. There are also various methods in the API that you can invoke to get similar information.

This is a bugfix release that contains a major fix to the canonicalization engine. This bug was introduced in the 1.4.0 release, so it is highly recommended that anyone using 1.4.0 upgrade to the 1.4.1 version.
