I'm sorry, but your code snippets are more or less unreadable.  Any
chance you can strip them down to the essentials and get rid of all
formatting?

You seem to have pasted the xmlUnitutility class twice but didn't paste
the Ignoreelement class.

You don't do anything with this instance

what do you expect this to do?  You ignore the return code.

Your DifferenceListener has not been used during comparisions so you
can't ignore anything here.  You must set the DifferenceListener before
the comparision is performed.  In you case this is before you invoke
diff.similar() or detDiff.getAllDifferences().
