XADES 签名验证

Question

I use below java code to verify XML signature using xades4j

    NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#", "Signature");

    FileSystemDirectoryCertStore certStore = new
            FileSystemDirectoryCertStore("cert/store/");
    KeyStore ks;
    try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("cert/store/myStore")) {
        ks = KeyStore.getInstance("jks");
        ks.load(fis, "password".toCharArray());
    } 
    CertificateValidationProvider provider = new PKIXCertificateValidationProvider( ks, false,certStore.getStore() );

    XadesVerificationProfile profile = new XadesVerificationProfile(provider);
    org.w3c.dom.Element sigElem = (org.w3c.dom.Element) nl.item(0);
    XAdESVerificationResult r = profile.newVerifier().verify(sigElem, null);

But I get the below exception and it says digest values are not equal.

xades4j.verification.ReferenceValueException: Reference '#xmldsig-xxxx-abc-object11' cannot be validated

Below is the XML file ( I replaced the actual data with mock data)

I have two questions and trying to figure out.

1. The approach I use for this XML document verifcation is correct?
2. The reason of getting " xades4j.verification.ReferenceValueException: Reference '#xmldsig-xxxx-abc-object11' cannot be validated" and digest values are not matched.

Edit (14-11-22): I was able to resolve xades verification issue. Below are the two mistakes I did.

1. Read the signed XML file from the disk. I think the file was altered or could not read correctly. Instead reading from the disk, I validate the string returned from the API directly.
2. It turns out that I should use the root certificate for validation.

Now i'm trying to valide XMLDsig using the below code.

    NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#", "Signature");
DOMValidateContext valContext = new DOMValidateContext(new KeyValueKeySelector(), nl.item(0));
XMLSignatureFactory fac = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 XMLSignature signature = fac.unmarshalXMLSignature(valContext);
signature.validate(valContext);

  

It gives me the below exception

om.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.utils.resolver.ResourceResolverException: Cannot resolve element with ID xmldsig-xxx-abc-signedprops
