For XML to be equivalent, things like namespace prefixes, whitespace*, etc can be different. With Strings, this is not the case. For example: <foo xmlns="http://foobaz"; /> and <baz:foo xmlns:baz="http://foobaz"; /> Are equivalent in XML.
If you are hoping to do an == check using the above with strings it will ALWAYS fail with String.equals. Why not try XMLObject.[compareTo|compareValue|valueEquals] ? -jacobd On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 7:14 AM, Nicolai Odum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry - but no good > > From the javadoc > > *toString* > *String* <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html> * > toString*() > Returns an XML string for this XML object. > > The string is pretty-printed.
