Is there a way to test if two dom elements are exactly equal in

  • 0

Is there a way to test if two dom elements are exactly equal in Java?

What is the best way to test the equality between two elements in JUnit Testing. If there is a java method to test the equality between two dom elements, then perhaps I could use assertTrue over this java method. Would that work ?

Say I have two dom nodes, n1 and n2 I tried the following in junit test:

assertTrue(n1.isEqualNode(n2));

Please see the result of my test print statements

node n1 is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><user trust="false"><userid>user</userid><password>70A0C520F974F76D994779C92326BEFFDECC344B</password><username>sony</username><organization>org</organization></user>

node n2 is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><user trust="false">
  <userid>user</userid>
  <password>70A0C520F974F76D994779C92326BEFFDECC344B</password>
  <username>sony</username>
  <organization>org</organization>
</user>

This throws a java assertion error.

The nodes I used are exact replicates of each other with same child node lists and values.

Thanks,
Sony

    You can use XmlUnit http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/ for testing xml values.
