Stephan - I have another question. I am trying to compare two xml documents but would like to Skip the comparison in a few of those nodes (e.g the documents should be treated as identical even if two elements 'foo' and 'bar' are different in the two).
I see in the examples, that we could implement the DifferenceListener, but it seems like then the documents would be treated as similar/identical even if nodes other than 'foo' and 'bar' are different. Is there a way so that I can specify using xpaths, that I would like to skip comparison of just foo and bar. Thank you.

If you are using XMLUnit 1.1 beta, simply use XMLUnit.setControlEntityresolver and XMLUnit.setTestEntitiyResolver and then invoke assertXMLEquals or Diff just as you did in your first code examples. Alternatively you (should work in 1.0 as well) can parse the XML files yourself, while setting the EntityResolver, something like > File controlf = new File("C:/Program Files/xmlunit/tests/etc/InfoSettlementResponse_control.xml"); > > DocumentBuilder dbCon = XMLUnit.getControlParser(); > OmgeoDTDEntityResolver er = new OmgeoDTDEntityResolver(); > dbCon.setEntityResolver(er); Document docCon = dbCon.parse(new InputSource(new FileInputStream(controlf))); andd similar for the test document. I.e. you parse your document under the control of the EntityResolver. The parser's going to call back on your resolver when it encounters the DTD's public identifier. See the jaxp docs for more details. After you have Document instances you can use the Diff constructor that accepts org.w3c.dom.Document as arguments.
