Class DocumentComparator

java.lang.Object
  org.jibx.extras.DocumentComparator

public class DocumentComparator
extends Object

XML document comparator. This uses XMLPull parsers to read a pair of documents in parallel, comparing the streams of components seen from the two documents. The comparison ignores differences in whitespace separating elements, but in non-schema mode treats whitespace as significant within elements with only character data content.

Constructor Detail

DocumentComparator

public DocumentComparator(PrintStream print,
                          boolean schema)
                   throws org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException

Constructor with schema adjustments flag specified. Builds the actual parsers and sets up for comparisons.

Parameters:

print - print stream for reporting differences

schema - use schema adjustments in comparisons flag

Throws:

org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException - on error creating parsers

DocumentComparator

public DocumentComparator(PrintStream print)
                   throws org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException

Constructor. Builds the actual parser.

Parameters:

print - print stream for reporting differences

Throws:

org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException - on error creating parsers

Method Detail

buildPositionString

protected static String buildPositionString(org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParser parser)

Build parse input position description.

Parameters:

parser - for which to build description

Returns:

text description of current parse position

buildName

protected static String buildName(String ns,
                                  String name)

Build name string.

Parameters:

ns - namespace URI

name - local name

Returns:

printable names string

printError

protected void printError(String msg)

Prints error description text. The generated text include position information from both documents.

Parameters:

msg - error message text

equalValues

protected boolean equalValues(String texta,
                              String textb)

Check for equal values. If the schema compare flag is configured, this applies some basic schema rules in the comparisons, allowing '0' to match 'false' and '1' to match 'true', and comparing values using date or dateTime structure as decoded values.

Parameters:

texta -

textb -

Returns:

true if values match, false if not

matchAttributes

protected boolean matchAttributes()

Verifies that the attributes on the current start tags match. Any mismatches are printed immediately.

Returns:

true if the attributes match, false if not

matchText

protected boolean matchText(String texta,
                            String textb,
                            String lead)

Check if two text strings match, ignoring leading and trailing spaces. Any mismatch is printed immediately, with the supplied lead text.

Parameters:

texta -

textb -

lead - error text lead

Returns:

true if the texts match, false if not

matchNames

protected boolean matchNames()

Verifies that the current start or end tag names match.

Returns:

true if the names match, false if not

compare

public boolean compare(Reader rdra,
                       Reader rdrb)

Compares a pair of documents by reading them in parallel from a pair of parsers. The comparison ignores differences in whitespace separating elements, but treats whitespace as significant within elements with only character data content.

Parameters:

rdra - reader for first document to be compared

rdrb - reader for second document to be compared

Returns:

true if the documents are the same, false if they're different
