Hi Dims! Thanks for the pointer to XMLUnit. So far, I was using a trial version of XMLDiff in quite an ugly fashion...phew!!! Today I incorporated the XMLUnit and tested the conformance in the suggested three step fashion. Load, Save, Compare. And the results stand as follows Of all the files present in the suite, 435 files were parsed and built into a serializable object model without throwing exceptions. But of them only 381 files have the serialized xml (from OM datastructures) matching with the original xml file used as input.
As of now, in OM, comment elements are not taken care of. I think I can manage Comment information item. That can improve the success rate by good amount. I'm currently finalizing the interface of OMComment.
