Method Detail

addComparisonListener

public void addComparisonListener(ComparisonListener l)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Registers a listener that is notified of each comparison.

Specified by:

addComparisonListener in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

l - the listener to add

addMatchListener

public void addMatchListener(ComparisonListener l)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Registers a listener that is notified of each comparison with outcome ComparisonResult.EQUAL.

Specified by:

addMatchListener in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

l - the listener to add

addDifferenceListener

public void addDifferenceListener(ComparisonListener l)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Registers a listener that is notified of each comparison with outcome other than ComparisonResult.EQUAL.

Specified by:

addDifferenceListener in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

l - the listener to add

setNodeMatcher

public void setNodeMatcher(NodeMatcher n)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Sets the strategy for selecting nodes to compare.

Specified by:

setNodeMatcher in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

n - the strategy to use

getNodeMatcher

protected NodeMatcher getNodeMatcher()

Provides access to the configured NodeMatcher.

Returns:

the configured NodeMatcher

setDifferenceEvaluator

public void setDifferenceEvaluator(DifferenceEvaluator e)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Evaluates the severity of a difference.

Specified by:

setDifferenceEvaluator in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

e - the evaluator to use

getDifferenceEvaluator

protected DifferenceEvaluator getDifferenceEvaluator()

Provides access to the configured DifferenceEvaluator.

Returns:

the configured DifferenceEvaluator

setComparisonController

public void setComparisonController(ComparisonController c)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Determines whether the comparison should stop after given difference has been found.

Specified by:

setComparisonController in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

c - the controller to use

getComparisonController

protected ComparisonController getComparisonController()

Provides access to the configured ComparisonController.

Returns:

the configured ComparisonController

setNamespaceContext

public void setNamespaceContext(Map<String,String> prefix2uri)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Establish a namespace context that will be used in Comparison.Detail#getXPath.

Without a namespace context (or with an empty context) the XPath expressions will only use local names for elements and attributes.

Specified by:

setNamespaceContext in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

prefix2uri - maps from prefix to namespace URI.

getNamespaceContext

protected Map<String,String> getNamespaceContext()

Provides access to the configured namespace context.

Returns:

the configured namespace context

setAttributeFilter

public void setAttributeFilter(Predicate<Attr> af)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Sets the optional strategy that decides which attributes to consider and which to ignore during comparison.

Only attributes for which the predicate returns true are part of the comparison. By default all attributes are considered.

The "special" namespace, namespace-location and schema-instance-type attributes can not be ignored this way. If you want to suppress comparison of them you'll need to implement DifferenceEvaluator.

Note that NodeMatcher will not by aware of the configured attribute filter and if its decision is based on attributes it will in general also consider attributes the filter would suppress.

Specified by:

setAttributeFilter in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

af - the strategy to use

getAttributeFilter

protected Predicate<Attr> getAttributeFilter()

Provides access to the configured attribute filter.

Returns:

the configured attribute filter

setNodeFilter

public void setNodeFilter(Predicate<Node> nf)

Description copied from interface: DifferenceEngine

Sets the optional strategy that decides which nodes to consider and which to ignore during comparison.

Only nodes for which the predicate returns true are part of the comparison. By default nodes that are not document types are considered.

Specified by:

setNodeFilter in interface DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

nf - the strategy to use

getNodeFilter

protected Predicate<Node> getNodeFilter()

Provides access to the configured nod filter.

Returns:

the configured node filter

compare

protected final AbstractDifferenceEngine.ComparisonState compare(Comparison comp)

Compares the detail values for object equality, lets the difference evaluator and comparison controller evaluate the result, notifies all listeners and returns the outcome.

Parameters:

comp - the comparison to perform

Returns:

the outcome as pair of result and a flag that says "stop the whole comparison process" when true.

getXPath

protected static String getXPath(XPathContext ctx)

Returns a string representation of the given XPathContext.

Parameters:

ctx - the XPathContext

Returns:

a string representation of the given XPathContext

getParentXPath

protected static String getParentXPath(XPathContext ctx)

Returns a string representation of the given XPathContext's parent context.

Parameters:

ctx - the XPathContext

Returns:

a string representation of the given XPathContext's parent context.
