@divman, thank you for sharing the link. As it was mentioned in the previous post, xmlunit was pointed with additional information that if there are complex list, then xmlunit does not handle unless one can input sorted xmls to it.

    Hi Rao,

     

    Thanks for your reply. Could you please help me understand here, what do you mean "input sorted xmls"?. Sorry if this is a basic question.

      Xml Schema Definition contains repeating element which again complex one, then xmlunit does not sort, then mismatch happens on comparison.

        Sorry if i am not understood properly. But would like to clarify. I tested the code in my project stuff and here is the my xml will look like.

        <AcctBal xmlns="http://www.ifxforum.org/IFX_150">
  <BalType>AvgLedger</BalType>
  <CurAmt>
     <Amt>422583.92</Amt>
     <CurCode>USD</CurCode>
     <UpDt xmlns="http://www.ifxforum.org/IFX_150">2014-04-11T00:00:00-04:00</UpDt>
     <LastStmtDt xmlns="http://www.ifxforum.org/IFX_150">2014-04-17</LastStmtDt>
     <EffDt>2014-04-29T14:46:49.514000-04:00</EffDt>
  </CurAmt>
</AcctBal>

         and this section will have repeated number of times in my xml wsdl schema and the tags 'UpDt', 'LastStmtDt' and 'EffDt' will come atleast 20 times in one of my soap response. I have tested this comparison code for this kind of XML and i was success at all times. 

        Could you please help me what could be the possible scenario or case, where you are saying this will not work for 'input sorted xmls'.
