Compare two XML files: Analysis and Design

Hi, Java/XML/JDOM experts,
I realised that an open source of Java utility to compare two XML is still missing. So I would like to write one for my JDOM excises.
I plan to do it in three steps:
1.Define the problem domain.
2.Design the classes to be developed.
3.Coding
Below is the problem domain. Would you review it and tell me if it is fine?
Best regards,
AG
Compare two XML files
Schema assumption:
The xml files used for the comparison must have the same schema.
Definition:
1. Two elements of simple type are said equal if their name and value are identical.
2. Two elements of complex type are said comparable if their name, attributes are identical.
3. Two elements of complex type are said equal if they are comparable and their children elements are identical.

Hi,
Thanks for reviewing my idea.
The xml files used for the comparison must have the
same schema.Including not having a schema at all? And if they do
have a schema, must they be valid according to the
schema?I will only support schema based xml files. To include a schema is a good practice. So I will valid them agaisnt schema (is this possible with JDOM? I am testing ...)
>
2. Two elements of complex type are said comparableif
their name, attributes are identical.
3. Two elements of complex type are said equal ifthey
are comparable and their children elements are
identical.Do you plan to require child elements to appear in the
same order for the two documents to be equal? (Note
that XML specifically says that the order of
attributes is not significant.)No. The order is not significant as I use the attributes as the keys to find comparable element counterpart.
Here is the sample code already tested. Any comments are welcome!
The next step is to define the "delta xml schema" that will guide me to store the comparasion results. Do you have any suggestions?
Regards.

Comparing two PDFs using Compare Documents utility in Acrobat Pro in command line

I have a need to compare two PDFs based on text, images, annotations, formatting, headers/footers, styles etcetera. The Adobe acrobat pro tool is working very good as per my requirements. I need to call it through Java program or command line. It could be something which takes the two PDFs as argument and compare options as Pro version have - text, images, annotations, formatting, headers/footers and background and generates the list of differences. It could return the differences either in a form of pdf document highlighting the differences or the map which is mapping something like page numbers to the details of differences that are appearing.
This would be very helpful. Please answer asap.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you want to do this on a server, but you should know that Adobe Acrobat cannot legally be used on a server.
For server-based PDF operations you can look at Adobe LiveCycle products or our Adobe PDFLibrary (available in both Java and C++)

Compare two dates in different format.

Hi
I want to compare two dates....one of which is in the timeStamp format ("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
and the other is in java.util.Date i.e Tue Oct 11 10:22:47 GMT+05:30 2005
Do I have to tokenise and then compare them.Is there any better approach?
I want to find out which is greater/smaller one.
Pls help.
Regards,
Sandip.

I would convert both to Date and compare them. To convert String to Date check java.text.SimpleDateFormat and its parse(...) method.

Performance issues comparing two vectors

I need some advice on what is the fastest way to compare two vectors. My question is all about performance;
I have two vectors one(Vect A) of which has more than 20000 string values and the other Vector B would hold typically around 200 strings.I compare them both to find out if Vector B has values in Vector A and remove those.
I iterate thro each element in a loop from the smaller to the bigger vector comparing element by element.But it takes a long time.
Is there any quick way to do this comparison and can I use contains/compare methods instead of iterating thro the vectors.will it speeden up things
Arn

first of all, you should probably examine your collection choice and make sure that java.util.Vector is your best option (assumming you can change the class). Do not use a Hashtable as the previous poster suggested- it doesn't sound like you have a key/value type relationship in your elements, making a Map implementation superflous. Will there be duplicate elements in either Collection? If you will not have duplicate elements, you should probably use a Set collection instead of a List. Does your collection have to be thread-safe? If not, one of the unsynchronized collections should give you better performance (e.g. ArrayList should be quicker then Vector). For the best possible performance, you could use an ordered collection and write your own comparator, so that it does not iterate beyond what ever element assurres that there is no match (i.e. if the first element is "fred" in an ordered collection, you know there will be no match for "adam"). Sun has some good tutorials on the java.util.Collection package that will help you understand the benefit of each implemenation...
although, and I suppose this is neither here nor there, I wouldn't use java objects to sort through 20K string items- sounds like storing them in a database might be superior. Take care.

Compare Two Date - Very Urgent

hi to all,
i want to compare two date..
i m getting one date from database and having current date..
what my issue is i want to dispaly error message when database date greater
than current date value..
pls help to my problem...

import java.util.*;
public class DateVlid {
     public static void main(String[] args)throws ParseException {
          Calendar currentDate=Calendar.getInstance();
          Calendar dbDate=Calendar.getInstance();
          dbDate.set(2007,12,10);
          boolean b=currentDate.before(dbDate);
          if(b){
               System.out.println("it is before date");
}Try it once for a while.
If it has any problems let me know.

Comparing two Calendar dates

No question. Just a comment with code example.
Yesterday I was having issues comparing two Calendar dates. They looked equal in my println statement, but they failed the test. The solution evaded my cafeine intensified brain for hours. Then it hit me. Print out the time in milliseconds and see if the numbers were the same. Nope. Why?
The problem was that in the real world, you get dates from all over the place, not just cooked up for a text book example. (Don't you just hate those text book examples in their unrealistic world?) Anyway, I was getting a date from an HTML form and a data from a database and comparing the two once I had converted them both to a Calendar object. This seemed a reasonable choice.
Well, the java.sql.Date that the Oracle driver returned which was converted to a java.util.Date was fine. I ran this into a Calendar with the call calS.setTime(dbDate). The form date was split into fields and put into a difference Calendar obj with the call calF.set(fYear, fMonth, fDay, 0, 0, 0). This too seemed reasonable. Then a call to calS.equls(calF) resulted in a false even though the actual dates were in fact the same.
The problem was with the time. The java.sql.Date (calS) had a time of 00:00:00 which was fine. The calendar from the form also had 00:00:00 for a time since I initialized it with zeros. Hummmmm. Now what? As mentioned before, I decided to print out the actuall time in milliseconds and that gave me my answer. The two calendars were off by only milliseconds, but that's why. You see, the equals method of Calendar compares two dates/time in milliseconds. You can see this in the source for yourself. It's not difficult to read at all. Download and open the api source file, src.zip, and locate Calendar.java in the java.util directory.
The fix was to add calF.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0) and calS.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0) to zero out the milliseconds in each Calendar object. That did the trick. Here's example code of the problem (test1) and the solution (test2). I tried to simulate as close to real world as possible. If you have a better solution or I've made some error, please let me know. I'm always looking for better ways.
Main.java
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class Main {
    private int fYear = 2003;
    private int fMonth = 3; // march
    private int fDay = 14;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Main main = new Main();
        main.test1();
        main.test2();
    public void test1() {
        SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat();
        // get the date from the form
        Calendar calF = Calendar.getInstance();
        calF.set(fYear, fMonth-1, fDay, 0, 0, 0); // month starts at 0 - so march would be 2
        System.out.println("From form date:     [" + df.format(calF.getTime()) + "] [" + calF.getTimeInMillis() + "]");
        // simulate other activity in the app
        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        // get the Date from the shared object which comes from a database (java.sql.Date)
        // the return is java.util.Date

        SharedObject so = new SharedObject();
        Date myDate = so.getTheDate();
        Calendar calS = Calendar.getInstance();
        calS.setTime(myDate);
        System.out.println("Shared Object date: [" + df.format(calS.getTime()) + "] [" + calS.getTimeInMillis() + "]");
        // compare the two calendars for equality
        if (calS.equals(calF)) {
            System.out.println("The same");
        else {
            System.out.println("NOT the same");
    public void test2() {
        SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat();
        // get the date from the form
        Calendar calF = Calendar.getInstance();
        calF.set(fYear, fMonth-1, fDay, 0, 0, 0);
        calF.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0); // the magic bean
        System.out.println("From form date:     [" + df.format(calF.getTime()) + "] [" + calF.getTimeInMillis() + "]");
        // simulate other activity in the app
        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        // get the Date from the shared object which comes from a database (java.sql.Date)
        // the return is java.util.Date
        // convert to a Calendar
        SharedObject so = new SharedObject();
        Date myDate = so.getTheDate();
        Calendar calS = Calendar.getInstance();
        calS.setTime(myDate); // just to be safe
        calF.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
        System.out.println("Shared Object date: [" + df.format(calS.getTime()) + "] [" + calS.getTimeInMillis() + "]");
        // compare the two calendars for equality
        if (calS.equals(calF)) {
            System.out.println("The same");
        else {
            System.out.println("NOT the same");
SharedObject.java
public class SharedObject {
    public java.util.Date getTheDate() {
        java.util.Date d = null;
        try {
            java.sql.Date s = java.sql.Date.valueOf("2003-3-14"); // this march is converted internally
            d = (java.util.Date)s;
        catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        return d;
} The output
From form date:     [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600296]
Shared Object date: [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600000]
NOT the same
From form date:     [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600000]
Shared Object date: [3/14/03 12:00 AM] [1047621600000]
The same

So your post boils down to the fact that Calendar's set(year, month, day, hour, minute, second) method doesn't change the milliseconds fraction?
Given that there is this method, I guess it would be nice if there was a method that simultaneously set all fields, but the API does state:
Previous values of other fields are retained. If this is not desired, call clear() first.

How to compare two different characteristics at the same time in polestar

Hi Gurus,
I would like to analyse the e fashion universe in polestar with comparison of previous year product line with current year product line at the same time.
is there any way to do that we can compare two years of the product line sales revenue at the same time with comparison chart like 2003 T shirts vs 2002 T shirts
in polestar we can compare the two measures at the same time but i want to compare the sales revenue of product lines of two years in a comparison chart at the same time.
Regards and thanks
Abid Paul

Hi Stratos,
I am actually able to compare the Measures but i want the comparison between the two different characteristics like this year productline vs last year productline at the same time with say one measure like sales revenue or any other.
Is it possible to compare the both and it should represent in the chart as well at the same time.
In the polestar i can compare three measures at the same time but i want to compare characteristics like year 2009 productline VS 2008 productline with one measure say sales revenue.
I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
Regards and thanks
Abid

Comparing two date/times

I need to be able to compare two times:
1. I need top get the current time e.g 13:15
2. I then need to work out how many minutes exist bewteen the above time and 17:00 the previous day
So if the current time was 17:00 Mon
then the number of minutes to 17:00 Sun would be 24hrs x 60 = 1440 Minutes ( I need this time )
Any help would be great

Try this:
import java.util.*;
public class timeDif {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Date yesterday=new Date(102,3,1,17,0,0); // year,month-1,day,hour,minute,second
      Date today=new Date(); // get the current date/time
      long diff=(today.getTime()-yesterday.getTime())/60000;   // getTime() returns times in miliseconds
      System.out.println("time diff in minutes is "+diff);
}V.V.

I am comparing two documents. The "Not Responding" event happens for over 30 minutes.

I am comparing two documents using FM 11 on Windows 7. The "Not Responding" event happens for over 30 minutes. When should I force the application to quit?

It sounds like your installation is corrupted. I don't know what two checkmarks you mean, but when the Setup Assistant starts it collects some personal information after which it will return you to your normal Desktop. If it isn't doing that, then something is not right.
I think you will need to shut down the computer, then reboot. If you are able to reboot, then check About This Mac under the pple menu to see what version of OS X it shows is installed. If it shows 10.9.x then do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Compare two similar objects

Do you know about any possible Java bugs with JDK update?
In my case, my code stopped working.
Here is what I have. There are two similar objects, but Object 1 has key, and Object 2 (same as Object 1) has no key. I need to compare both, and if they are equal, I need Object 1 to assign key to Object 2.
It worked before. How I can get around.
Please help me if you can.
Respectfully,
Alex

Let me change the question:
"Can we compare two objects one with key and another one without key? How?
