Re: Help on comparing Xalan Nodes

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

DOMNode::isSameNode() is a DOM level 3 interface which is designed to allow
implementation which use proxies to implement node identity.  This not
necessary with XalanNode instances -- you can just compare the addresses of
the nodes.

Hi,
    How can I compare two XalanNodes for (in)equality??

I wish to achieve the same result as DOMNode::isSameNode() does for Xerces
Nodes. Following is how xerces explains that operation,

"This method provides a way to determine whether two DOMNode references
returned by the implementation reference the same object. When two DOMNode
references are references to the same object, even if through a proxy, the
references may be used completely interchangeably, such that all attributes
have the same values and calling the same DOM method on either reference
always has exactly the same effect. "

How can I achieve the same results for Xalan Nodes? Please do let me know
if
I am not making myself clear.

Thanks and Regards,
/Manish
