I was currently working on the migration of some flows from V2.1 to V6.0.
After the flows and message sets were successfully migrated I wanted to test all the V2.1 test cases against V6.0. The output messages were all XML. I have a Java program that reads from a file in a specified directory and writes to a queue and another that reads a queue and writes to a file in a specified directory.
After running all the test cases on both V2.1 & V6.0 I have an equal number of messages from both versions and I now need to compare both sets of output.
Since output is in XML I have used XMLSpy to perform a directory wise comparison.
In trying to automate this whole process I am facing two roadblocks:
1. XMLSpy is not freeware
2. XMLSpy comparison tool cannot be invoked from command line.

What I wanted to know if there are any freeware/open source XML comparison tools that can be invoked from command line/ batch file so that the whole process can be automated and the net output will be a file with the results of the comparison.
Is there any other apoproach/ better way to do this?

may be if you have time..(which is where i always lack) you can think of writing some perl scripts and doing the comparison...

there are a couple of freeware tools available (search on google) but not sure which one can be invoked from command line to give you desired result

Hi shalabh1976,

I think eclipse provides an 'xml compare plug-in'....apart from that there should be something from Sun also...perhaps you should try a search...you should be able to use API to do the comparison.

We are currently using something similar, so you can be sure it's out there somewhere...

Regards.
