Extended Property

Specifies the type of ASiC signature.

Syntax

 asicsigner.getExtended([callback])
 asicsigner.setExtended( extended, [callback])

Default Value

FALSE

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getExtended([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setExtended([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

A simple signature container (ASiC-S) can only be made over a single document, and use one signature format (a CAdES signature, a XAdES signature, or a timestamp)

An extended container (ASiC-E) can cover multiple documents and contain multiple signatures of different types. Set this property to true to create an extended ASiC container.
