Class DetailedDiff

java.lang.Object

org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Diff

org.custommonkey.xmlunit.DetailedDiff

All Implemented Interfaces:

ComparisonController, DifferenceListener

public class DetailedDiff
extends Diff

Compares and describes all the differences between two XML documents. The document comparison does not stop once the first unrecoverable difference is found, unlike the Diff class. Note that because the differences are described relative to some control XML the list of all differences when A is compared to B will not necessarily be the same as when B is compared to A.

Constructor Details

DetailedDiff

public DetailedDiff(Diff prototype)

Create a new instance based on a prototypical Diff instance

Parameters:

prototype - the Diff instance for which more detailed difference information is required

Method Details

differenceFound

public int differenceFound(Difference difference)

DifferenceListener implementation. Add the difference to the list of all differences

Specified by:

differenceFound in interface DifferenceListener

Overrides:

differenceFound in class Diff

Parameters:

difference - a Difference instance as defined in DifferenceConstants describing the cause of the difference and containing the detail of the nodes that differ

Returns:

the value supplied by the superclass implementation

haltComparison

public boolean haltComparison(Difference afterDifference)

ComparisonController implementation.

Specified by:

haltComparison in interface ComparisonController

Overrides:

haltComparison in class Diff

Parameters:

afterDifference - the last Difference passed to differenceFound

Returns:

false always as this class wants to see all differences

• Difference.isRecoverable()

getAllDifferences

public List<Difference> getAllDifferences()

Obtain all the differences found by this instance

Returns:

a list of differences
