Karsten, I am not sure that this would meet your needs but you might take a look at the unit testing framework, xmlunit ( http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/ ) which could used as is or wrapped. There is an XSLT comparison method and several different types of xml comparison methods.

I want to call the tool from an automatic test and it should compare the actual result against an XML-file. The main problems of standart XML-DIFF tools are: - can't be called from a batch programm or - result can't be procesed by a batch programm - show different IDs, but this is no error (I use generate-id(), therefor IDs may differ between different runs on the same input) My Idea was to write an XSLT, witch compares two XML-files. But I did not find an easy way to process the XML-schema to find out witch elemets are IDREFs. So, if somebody has a good idea, please tell me. Ciao, Karsten
