Most of our Message Broker flows use XML and therefore unit testing is relatively straight-forward in terms of comparing expected responses which actual responses (using libraries such as XML-Diff) BTW we drive our flows directly from JUnit.
We are now going to receive (and send) non-XML messages in a format as defined by a CWF message set (to/from IMS).
How can messages written [say] to an MQ queue using such a format be compared so as to satisfy units tests similarly to what we are doing with XML ?

Regular diff rather than XML-Diff?
To some extent, it depends on how much knowledge of the logical meaning of the response message you need to have in order to produce a comparison that is considered "meaningful".
But I'd be kind of surprised if this required anything more than a plain byte-level comparison, which the plain ordinary unix diff command will do. (windows fc command may be a suitable alternative). |

Yes, that's what I had in mind. I guess I am wary of data which is generated dynamically such as a current date-time where, depending on the resolution, creating an exact match in the expected response might be problematic. I don't know if that will be an issue in this particular case but I'm betting it will be at some point.
Thanks for the pointer and I agree, a semantic comparison is unlikely to be required, just syntax.
