Java - Create XML Digital Signature using ECDSA (Elliptic Curve)

Question

We can create XML Digital Signature using RSA keys. But how do I use elliptic curve keys to sign xml files ? I get error messages such as -

Exception in thread "main" java.security.KeyException: ECKeyValue not supported
    at org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.DOMKeyValue$EC.<init>(DOMKeyValue.java:350)

I used below code to create SignatureMethod and KeyInfo -

String url = "http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#ecdsa-sha256";
        SignatureMethod signatureMethod = factory.newSignatureMethod(url, null);
        SignedInfo signedInfo = factory.newSignedInfo(c14n, signatureMethod, Collections.singletonList(reference));

        PrivateKey privateKey = Utils.generatePrivateEC("e:\\certs\\ec\\ec.key.p8");
        Certificate certificate = Utils.generatePublic("e:\\certs\\ec\\ec.cer");
        KeyInfoFactory keyInfoFactory = factory.getKeyInfoFactory();
        KeyValue keyValue = keyInfoFactory.newKeyValue(certificate.getPublicKey());
        KeyInfo keyInfo = keyInfoFactory.newKeyInfo(Collections.singletonList(keyValue));
