Note

This section focuses on the procedure to integrate the Sign’Stash Proxy Client as a JAR or Maven dependency in a Java client application.

If you already integrated with Sign’Stash Proxy Client via REST API, please ignore this section.

Sign’Stash Proxy Client as a Dependency

To integrate the Proxy Client component in your Java client product or application, you must add the following Maven dependency in your project’s pom.xml file:

Code Block
languagexml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.must.einvoice</groupId>
    <artifactId>einvoice-integration-client</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0+b12<<version>[PROVIDED_VERSION]</version>
</dependency>

Initialization

To use the component functionalities it is first required to initialize a signature service named HashSignatureService. The initialization operation will generate an instance of the service ready to use.

Code Block
languagejava
HashSignatureService hashSignatureService = new SignatureService().initialize();

Documents Signing

To request the application of digital signatures on a set of documents. you need to use the method signDocumentHash from HashSignatureService. The following code snippet presents its method signature.

Code Block
languagejava
public interface HashSignatureService{
    SignOperation signDocumentHash(BaseSignRequest<BinaryDocument> signRequest, String token) 
                throws UnexpectedException, ExternalReferenceAlreadyExistsException, IntegrationRequestException
                InvalidVisibleSignatureConfigurationException, InvalidSignatureContentConfigurationException;
}
