Method Detail

• compareXML

  public boolean compareXML(java.io.InputStream f1,
                   java.io.InputStream f2)
                     throws java.io.IOException,
                            javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

  Compare the input streams as XML. THe files are considered equal if they are binary equal once transformed through the same transparent XSLT (whitespace is normalized on text nodes) using the same transformer implementation.

  Parameters:

  f1 - the first input stream

  f2 - the second input stream

  Returns:

  returns true if the streams are equal, false otherwise

  Throws:

  java.io.IOException - if IO fails

  javax.xml.transform.TransformerException - if transformation fails

• getFileOne

  public java.io.File getFileOne()

  Gets the intermediary file created from the first argument of the latest call to compareXML (as base for the post normalization binary compare).

  Returns:

  returns the first file

  Throws:

  java.lang.IllegalStateException - if temporary files are not kept or if compareXML has not been called.

• getFileTwo

  public java.io.File getFileTwo()

  Gets the intermediary file created from the second argument of the latest call to compareXML (as base for the post normalization binary compare).

  Returns:

  returns the second file

  Throws:

  java.lang.IllegalStateException - if temporary files are not kept or if compareXML has not been called.

• getPos

  public int getPos()

  Gets the byte position where the latest call to compareBinary or compareXML failed, or -1 if compare was successful

  Returns:

  returns the byte position

• compareBinary

  public boolean compareBinary(java.io.InputStream f1,
                      java.io.InputStream f2)
                        throws java.io.IOException

  Compares the input streams binary.

  Parameters:

  f1 - the first input stream

  f2 - the second input stream

  Returns:

  returns true if the streams are equal, false otherwise

  Throws:

  java.io.IOException - if IO fails
