How to compare two elements?

Hi Brothers,
How can I compare two nodelements from different nodes if they have the same content?
I tried
boolean elementExists(IE_CustomerElement element){
       for (int i=0; i < wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().size(); i++){
            if(element.equals(wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().
                                currentChangedCustomerRowsElement())){
                 return true;
       return false;
But this doesn't work since element may be from a different node and thus is not equal to wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().currentChangedCustomerRowsElement()
Both elements have the same attributes, though...
Any ideas? Thanks, Johannes

Johannes,
Object.equals method returns true only if both the arguments point to same object. So,
element.equals(wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().currentChangedCustomerRowsElement()
will be true only if both element and nodeChangedCustomerRows().currentChangedCustomerRowsElement() refer to same object, which is not the case here.
You'll need to do attribute comparison to see if the elements are equal. Something like this might work for you.
boolean elementExists(IE_CustomerElement element)
       for (int i=0; i < wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().size(); i++)
            if((element.Attribute1.equalsIgnoreCase(wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().currentChangedCustomerRowsElement().Attribute1))&&
               (element.Attribute2.equalsIgnoreCase(wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().currentChangedCustomerRowsElement().Attribute2))&&
               (element.Attribute3.equalsIgnoreCase(wdContext.nodeChangedCustomerRows().currentChangedCustomerRowsElement().Attribute3))
                      & so on....
                 return true;
       return false;
There might be better ways to do this, let me know if you come across one.
Hope this helps.

Failed to compare two elements in the array

very often, I have the error "Failed to compare two elements in the array" in Exchange 2013 ECP. We are not running DAG. I google a bit but don't get a lot of result on this.
I was trying to track mail from a user who send to DL group. Since I can't do in in ECP , how can I do it in EMS?

I too have this issue. I'm not sure how wide spread. I know of one user who sends emails regularly to a DL named "All Users" which is a Security Group which we then add real users to and not just every mailbox. When he sends the emails,
from his perspective, everything is fine, meaning he gets to NDR or anything. Also, when he adds the Dl in Outlook To field and expands it, all the correct users are there. In fact, it tells him there are 203 addresses here. However, only
184 are actually getting the message. When I try the EAC to view the tracking report, it will show the message, but if I click on the edit button, I get "Failed to compare two elements in the array". If I try from EMC with search-messagetrackingreport
-identity "recipient address" -sender "sender address" -bypassdelegatechecking and the recipient address is the group, it says it could not be found. If I try with simply putting an email address of someone who is a member of that group, it says Warning:
An unexpected error has occured and a Watson dump is being generated. Failed to compare two elements in the array. I don't know what else to try. Anybody??

How to compare two rows in PL/SQL?

Hi All,
How to compare two rows in PL/SQL? Is there any method that I can use instead of comparing them column by column?
Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

How to compare two Objects !!!!

Hi All,
I know that this question has been asked 100 times till now. But trust me I have checked all of them but couldn`t find answer. Here is my question:
I have an objecs. In that object I am setting (Id,Name,DOJ). Now I want to check whether the object I am trying to save in database already exists or not. If exists then I need to check whether all the setters are same for the two objects. Now can anyone tell me ,how to compare two objects directly without comparing the setters individually.
Thanks in advance.

pavan13 wrote:
That is pretty good idea. However I have a query. Does that code actually compare all the setters in a two beans. I don`t want to check each setter seperately.Well, it's pretty meaningless to talk about "comparing setters", setters are methods, they don't have values to compare. Because equals is inside the class, you can simply compare the fields that get set by the setters. "Properties" is probably a better name.
In principal you could write something that tried to find all relevant fields and compare them, using reflection or bean info stuff. The resulting code would be about 50 times longer and take about 50 times longer to run. It's hardly asking a lot to put three comparisons between && operators.
Remember, though, not to compare string fields with ==, you should call .equals on the string fields.
p.s. don't let the bean terminology confuse you. Beans are just ordinary objects which follow a few rules. Personally I wish the term had never been coined.

How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (example: & vs & and many others)?

I attempted to compare two strings whether they are equal or not. They should return true if both are equal.
One string is based on Taxonomy's Term (i.e. Term.Name) whereas other string is based on String object.
The problem is that both strings which seem equal return false instead of true. Both string values have different special characters though their special characters are ＆ and &

Is it due to different culture or language?
How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (＆ vs &)?

Hi Jerioon,
If you have a list of possible ambiguous characters the job is going to be easy and if (＆ vs &) are the only charracters in concern awesome.
You can use the below solution.
Before comparing pass the variables through a replace function to standarize the char set.
$Var = Replace($Var,"＆","&")
This is going to make sure you don't end up with ambiguous characters failing the comparison and all the char are "&" in this case.
Similar technique is used to ignore Character Cases 'a' vs. 'A'

??how to compare two resultsets??

hi all!
i need to find out whether two resultsets contain the same data.
the only way i know how to do it in java is to put them into a while loop and fetch the contents first and then compare the contents.
but is there an easier way to compare resultsets?
does anyone know how to compare two resultsets without extracting the data?
the code example here executes two identical queries on an oracle database, compare and print the resultsets.
public ResultSet getResultset(String query)
ResultSet rs=null;
try { rs=Stmt.executeQuery(query); }
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
return rs;
public static void main(String[] args) {
ResultSet r1=null;
ResultSet r2=null;
try {
database db = new ddatabase();
r1=db.getResultset("Select 'name' from person");
r2=db.getResultset("Select 'name' from person");
if (r1 == r2) {
System.out.println("ok");
System.out.print(r1);
System.out.println();
System.out.print(r2);
else {
System.out.println("not ok");
System.out.print(r1);
System.out.println();
System.out.print(r2);
jdbc.cleanup();
catch(Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
and here is the output:
F:\java rs_compare
not ok
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSetImpl@4413ee
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSetImpl@786e64
as you can see the resultsets are different though the data they contain have to be the same.
so the 'if(resultset#1 == resultset#2)' does not work.
thanks for any help
best regards
5ithl0rd

Don't cross-post.
I'll bet ResultSet implementations don't override equals() to provide "deep equals" behavior, in which case it'll be no different than using "==".
It's a bad idea to compare two ResultSets this way. You'll have to load both into objects or data structures and compare those in a "deep" way.
Besides, the ONLY way two ResultSets could be different, given the same query, would be if there were multiple clients that could write to the table between queries and change the underlying data. If your two queries are sufficiently isolated, I'd say that the same query will return the same ResultSet.

How to compare two stored procedure

How to compare two stored procedure?
What is the command to compare the stored procedure?

select line, text
from user_source
where name='....'
minus
select line, text
from user_source
where name='....'
should do nicely.
Or: get the procedure text to a file using dbms_metadata.get_ddl (9i and higher) and run diff (Unix) or fc (Windhoze) on it.
You are a bit scarce on details.
Better still: implement source control.

It might sound strange, but for this I use a word processing program. I build a table with three columns (in portrait or in landscape mode depending on your needs). I set the paragraph marks so that I can compare the paragraphs. The new combinated version I copy into the third column. And then the way is free to copy the new compounded text into your new DW file.
Hans,
Have you tried WinDiff, WinMerge, Beyond Compare (my choice) or Compare It! or several others which automate much of the manual system outlined above?
http://www.scootersoftware.com/moreinfo.php?zz=screenshot&shot=TextCompare
http://www.scootersoftware.com/moreinfo.php?zz=screenshot&shot=TextMerge
These diff tools can then be used in conjunction with DW.
