Tool to compare 2 XML documents
Hi,
I am looking for some C++ or C tool or library to compare
XML documents (something like WinDiff but for XML documents).
Can anybody point me to the right location or name?
Thanks,
Jonas

There's one at IBM's AlphaWorks http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xmldiffmerge
You might want to look also at http://www.xmlsoftware.com

Any available tools for formating xml document?
Hi, I'm just looking for a java tool can help me sorting the xml document and text in alphabetical order. Anybody has any suggestion? Thanks a lot.
Well, you don't have to write your own sort necessarily. You'll have to write a Comparator to use with an existing sort routine, and you'll probably have to do some non-trivial manipulation of data just to get it to a point where you can use the existing sort routine.
Of course, depending on the situation, writing your own sort might be easier. (Say, if you were merging two sorted documents into one.) -
How to compare the contents of two XML documents
Hi all,
I was trying to compare the contents of two xml documents, they are both validate for the same XML Schema. i was using the xmlunit to do this. but some how it doesn't work like what i have expected. for example:
1.xml : <test><item>2</item><item>1</item></test>
2.xml: <test><item>3</item><item>2</item><item>1</item></test>
the result from XMLUnit is this two xmls are different, but it compares <item>2</item> with <item>3</item>, which i cannot find out where the real diiffs are.
does anybody know how i can do this correct?
best regards,
tinaI faced a similar problem in one of my projects and hence wrote my own comparator. Most comparators like ExamXML etc show XML as different if the nodes under a parent node occur in different seqeunce or a set of repeated nodes occur in different sequence. The comparator that I wrote gives you the flexibility to configure how to identify a node from a set of repeated nodes and is able to compare them successfully if they occur in any order. You can view the sample output at http://geocities.com/dheerendra_itbhu/TipsFromDheeru.html
and contact me in case you need the source code. -
Need XMLDiffer package for compare XML documents
Support Cell,
Can you please let me know or guide me where can I get XMLDiff class package? I tried to find out everywhere but couldn't locate it yet. Even, XDK 10g kit packet for NT doesn't contains the desired package.
I am using Oracle 10g R2 and have to compare xml documents and display in JSP page.
Would appreciate your prompt support!
With Thanks!
ShyamDeepak,
Thank you for the URL!
I got the XMLDiffer package.It's there in XML.JAR file of XDK.
Once again, thank you for your time and support.

Possible to compare Word 2007 XML documents?
I am trying to compare two word 2007 XML documents (.doc) using XMLUnit but I keep getting an assertion fail on the CDATA fields:
org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Diff [different] Expected text value '28/05/2009 22.50' but was '27/05/2009 15.02'This are the corresponding parts of the word xml files that differ:
<w:t><![CDATA[28/05/2009 22.50]]></w:t>
<w:t><![CDATA[27/05/2009 15.02]]></w:t>
I have tried to enable:
XMLUnit.setIgnoreDiffBetweenTextAndCDATA(true);But it still treats the sections as differences. When I compare the two files I have tried:
// test 1
InputSource xml1 = new InputSource("c:\\test\\actual.xml");
InputSource xml2 = new InputSource("c:\\test\\expected.xml");
Diff myDiff = new Diff(xml1, xml2);
myDiff.overrideElementQualifier(new RecursiveElementNameAndTextQualifier() );
assertXMLEqual("Not similar", myDiff, true);
// test 2
assertXMLEqual(expectedOutPutFileAsString, actualOutPutFileAsString);But the assertion fails in both cases.
Is it even possible to compare two word 2007 files like this?Telling someone that they can convert a Powerpoint to PDF and send that to their phone is NOT a "third party hack."
Which BTW is what you want to do because it will preserve all the pagination, orientation, resolution, etc, all in one nice tidy file. And, (if you email it to your phone through an IMAP enabled mail server like GMail) you can then forward the PDF file directly from the iPhone to someone else. -
Hello List,
I use JAXB for parsing and generating XML docs. It works well after some time to learn to use it.
But now I want compare 2 xml docs.
I think the equal function is the right way, but I can't find any implementation from this function in the generated classes.
Do I look right? Is it possible to compare xml docs with JAXB?
Any other hints.
regards DietmarEarlier this year, I needed such a tool and finally wrote one after not being able to find one. It was a lot of work. It compared two DOM documents.
In our case, we were testing a new server implementation to create XML result files from requests from our client. I connected to a new server and an old server and sent the identical input to both. I then validated the two results using DTD's (which is all we had) and then did a brute force comparison of the two Document objects.
To make things more difficult, there were some known differences. The new version returned a few new tags and attributes in certain cases. I had to avoid using these as a reason to declare a mismatch. Also, there were timestamps and URLs returned in the files I was processing, so I had to ignore these tags as well.
Another thing to consider is that attributes do not have to be presented in any sequence, so I had to compare in a non-order-specific way. I built two HashMaps, and first looked up each old attribute in the HashMap for new attributes. If I found a match, I removed this attribute from BOTH HashMaps, when I got to the end, anything lef t over in either HashMap was an orphan.
It was a lot of work, and my solution is probably not usable outside of its environment, and I don't have permission to release the source anyway.

Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Premature end of file.)
Hi folks,
I am using a cascaded mapping in my OM. I have a graphical mapping followed by the Java mapping. It is a flat file to IDOC mapping. Everything works fine in Dev but when I transport the same objects to QA, the Operation mapping though it doesn't fail in ESR testing tool, gives the following message and there is no output generated for the same payload which is successfully tested in DEV. Please advise on what could be the possible reasons.
Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Premature end of file.)kalyan,
There seems to be an invalid xml payload which causes this error in ESR not generating the tree view. Please find the similar error screenshot and rectify the payload.

Parsing an xml document inside a Thread
Hi Friends
I have to do some processing in my application for which i need to use multithreading.
Inside every new thread created i have to parse an xml document using s parsing tool like castor or jibx.
My question is that is it possible to parse a xml document inside a new thread everytime it gets created.
is it a good coding practice as it involves java code to do it.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Well i need to do some kind of a batch processing in my application.
I need to parse an xml document and upload the data i get after parsing into columns in the database.
Since its a batch what i was asking was is it possible to do it for every request as batch needs to handle hundreds of records during the daily or nightly sync.
Is it a good practice to do parsing for every record in a batch
Thanks
VikengI don't get it. One batch is one document, and that document contains e.g. 100 records? What's one request? A request for one batch? I would execute one batch in one thread.

Validating an XML document to a schema using ColdFusion
This is something I have never tried before. We created an XML Schema to define XML documents we expect to receive from various entities. When we receive the document, we would like to validate it before processing it. I think ColdFusion is up to this from reading the documentation, but we have not got anything working yet.
When we try and xmlParse() our test XML file against the XML schema we get the following error. When we use a web based XML validation tool and feed it the same XML file and schema it validates just fine.
An error occured while parsing an XML document.
[Error] :2:6: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'pur'.

XSQL: How to embed the XML document(s) instead of posting?
Dear all.
I'm trying to use XSQL for a self-contained database schema setup. This setup should be able to handle DML (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), PL/SQL calls etc and I thought XSQL looks perfect for the job. As such, I wouldn't be using XSQL as a publishing framework but as kind of an ETL tool. The only output I would be interested in would be the xsql-status in order to check that the number of rows processed matches my expectations. I would prefer XSQL to run entirely within the database and not depend on any servlet container.
However, it seems that XSQL's only way of obtaining the canonical XML (ROWSET/ROW) that is used by xsql:insert-request/xsql:update-request/xsql:delete-request is through HTTP POST/GET. It doesn't seem that it's possible to embed the XML directly in the page, nor does it seem possible to handle more than one XML.
I'm trying to achieve something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="scott" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsq">
<xsql:insert-request table="DEPT">
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-10</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 1</DNAME>
<LOC>COPENHAGEN</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-20</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 2</DNAME>
<LOC>LONDON</LOC>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsql:insert-request>
<xsql:insert-request table="EMP">
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>-10</EMPNO>
<ENAME>NEW EMP 1</ENAME>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>-20</EMPNO>
<ENAME>NEW EMP 2</ENAME>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsql:insert-request>
</page>
or perhaps
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="scott" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsq">
<request>
<parameters>
<dept>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-10</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 1</DNAME>
<LOC>COPENHAGEN</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-20</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 2</DNAME>
<LOC>LONDON</LOC>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</dept>
</parameters>
</request>
<xsql:insert-request table="DEPT" param="dept"/>
<xsql:insert-request table="EMP" param="emp"/>
</page>
I need both INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE so xsql:insert-param isn't enough, would also need an xsql:update-param and xsql:delete-param.
A way of referring to the canonical XML through an URI or XPath expression (referring to a registered XML document in the database) would also be cool.
Perhaps implementing custom action handlers would work but not sure whether they'll be able to refer to any child XML elements within them? Furthermore, the syntax for these would also be slightly inconvenient:
<xsql:action handler=com.ellebaek-consulting.xsql.InsertActionHandler" table="DEPT">
My alternative would be to re-implement an extended version of XSQL (XSQLX :-)?) but I'm trying to avoid that.
Any pointers and ideas are very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Finn Ellebaek NielsenHi.
Thanks for your reply but the article only talks about how to query data with XSQL and I need to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE data embedded in XSQL pages into the database so I'm afraid that the article doesn't apply.
Cheers

Binary content in XML document
Hi all,
I'm currently facing a problem regarding XML and binary content. What I need to do is basically send an XML-RPC message to invoke a method that has a parameter which accepts a file. I'm not sure how to include binary content in an XML document. Other than that, does anybody know if I can use some sort of common multipart request class to accept the XML-RPC calls from the client? In the end I should have a servlet that takes care of transferring the request (XML-RPC with file) to the apropriate service and construct and send a response...How does the aproach of establishing a momentary peer-to-peer connection for a file transfer compare with HTTP uploads? Does it work just about the same way?
Basically, this means I would need to build a client program that first opens a server socket for the actual file transfer, then sends a message to the application server that it wishes to upload a file and then accepts a connection from that application server to transmit the file...
Sure. ;-) However, if you're asking where you might find such an animal then I can't help you...
Apparently I don't need such a class anyway, if I use common XML-RPC messages and transfer binary content in another way... ;) -
How to use java to create an XML document from an SQL database?
Hi,
I'm a complete novice at XML and have only recently started programming in Java.
I'm currently trying to develop a package in Java 1.1.8 which requires a set of very specifically formatted XML documents. These documents would need to be updated regularly by people with no knowledge of Java and I would like to make it as simple as possible.
Since the data will already be in an SQL database, I thought it might be possible to generate the XML documents from the data using a small Java application, but I'm not too sure how to go about this or if this is even possible! Any help or pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
LouiseDo you have the option of upgrading to a newer version of the JDK?
JAXB does what you are wanting very easily. Also there are tools if you don't want to write your own. JAXB is available as early release on Sun's site as is the newest JDK. Otherwise, you have to design a factory and interface that will do this for you (which is what JAXB basically is in a very simplified view). -
Transmission of XML Documents in a vector via WebService using Axis
Hello,
I'm trying to transmit several XML documents (belonging to a DICOM-Study) from WebService Provider to WebService consumer.
This is my server/provider:
public static Vector<Document> returnPatientStudies(String PatientID)
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
File x = new File(PATH + "patient.xml");
Document document = builder.parse(x);
DCM2XMLFiles.add(document);This code works fine if it's executed locally in a JAVA class or via http/GET (http://.../axis/services/Gateway?method=returnPatientStudies&PatientID=123456).
After using Axis' WSDL2Java-Tool I wrote a client:
public static void main(String[] args) {
GatewayServiceLocator locator = new GatewayServiceLocator();
try {
Gateway gateway = locator.getGateway();
Vector<Document> documents = Gateway.returnPatientStudies("123456");
... Everytime I try to invoke this client-side class, I get an "org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize."
Obviously the client gets confused by the XML content of the vector I'm trying to transmit (this error also occurs if I transmit XML files constisting only of a single empty element <empty />).
I think this is a simple problem, since one single XML Document can be transmitted and gets displayed on client side, but I don't have a clue how to solve this vector<Document> problem. Hope someone can help me.
ThanksHi thanks for your answer.
I am striving to make this webservice as universal as possible. I have only been returning dumps to my calling page to try and get a view of what's going on inside the component when I call it as a webservice. I wouldn't dream or returnin these back the client.
The major core of this idea was to create a single component that acts as a facade for a number of other components. Because of this the component needs to accept and return a dynamically variable number of arguments. Because of this I selected xml as this seemed like the ideal solution; I can pass in an out some xml that contains all the arguments. I was hoping to reuse some internal functions to provide external webservices, and use this facade architechture to add a layer of security and logging which doesn't exist with the current functions.
Do you have any suggestions of how I could best acheive something along these lines? Has someone already created a framework or methodology for creating webservices with Coldfusion which would provide this sort of functionality out of the box?
Thanks again

Converting XML Document to String
Dear All,
I am quite new to Java Web Services. I have made a Java Class which calls all the web services . I am displaying the results on a Command prompt. Below is my sample code:
import javax.xml.rpc.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.Stub;
import horusWS.Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl;
import horusWS.Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap;
public class JavaClient {
public static void main(String[] args)
Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl service = new Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl();
Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap port = service.getHorus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap();
String str;
str = port.getTextFeedbackLearner(1,"P001",1);
//where getTextFeedbackLearner is the my Web Service.
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println returns the web service in string format. Now I want to compare this string to my actual getTextFeedbackLearner.xml file. But I think I need to convert getTextFeedbackLearner.xml to string first. Please let me know
how can I convert an XML Document to String.
Thanking you in Anticipation.
cheers,
Sunil SabirYou can read the XML document as you read any other file.
Read it into a String variable.
Check java.io.FileReader, java.io.BufferReader, etc. -
Indices configuration for XML document analysis (indexing time problems)
Hi all,
I'm currently developing a tool for XML Document analysis using XQuery. We have a need to analyse the content of a large CMS dump, so I am adding all documents to a berkeley DB xml to be able to run xqueries against it.
In my last run I've been running to indexing speed problems, with single documents (typically 10-20 K in size) taking around 20 sec to be added to the database after 6000 documents (I've got around 20000 in total). The time needed for adding docs to the database drops with the number of documents.
I suspect my index configuration to be the reason for this performance drop. Indeed, I've been very generous with indexes, as we have to analyse the data and don't know the structure in advance.
Currently my index configuration includes:
- 2 default indicess: edge-element-presence-none and edge-attribute-presence-none to be able to speed up every possible xquery to analyse data patterns: ex. collection()//table//p[contains(.,'help')]
- 8 edge-attribute-substring-string indices on attributes we use often (id, value, name, ...)
- 1 edge-element-substring-string index on the root element of the xml documents to be able to speed up document searches: ex. collection()//page[contains(.,'help')]
So here my questions:
- Are there any possible performance optimisations in Database config (not index config)? I only set the following:
setTransactional(false);
envConf.setCacheSize(1024*64);
envConf.setCacheMax(1024*256);
- How can I test various index configuration on the fly? Are there any db tools that allow to set/remove indexes?
- Is my index config suspect? ;-)
Greetings,
NilsHi Nils,
The edge-element-substring-string index on the document element is almost certainly the cause of the slow document inserts - that's really not a good idea. Substring indexes are used to optimize "=", contains(), starts-with() and ends-with() when they are applied to the named element that has the substring index, so I don't think that index will do what you want it to.
