[Xmlunit-general] Missing elements

[vamsidhar s. <bva...@ya...>]

Hi xmlunit users,=0A=0AHad a question regarding the behaviour of XMLUnit in=
 the below scenario:=0A=0AControl Doc =3D =0A<div class=3D"main">=0A    <x/=
>=0A    <a href=3D"1232"/>=0A    <div class=3D"top">top</div>=0A    <div cl=
ass=3D"bottom">bottom</div>=0A</div>=0A=0ATest Doc =3D=0A<div class=3D"main=
">=0A    <a href=3D"123"/>=0A    <div class=3D"top">top</div>=0A    <div cl=
ass=3D"bottom">bottom</div>=0A</div>=0A=0ALooking at the docs. it is clear =
that 'x' tag is missing in test doc. =0ABelow is the report that XMLUnit th=
at is generated.=0Afrom 2nd line I could infer that 'x' is missing element.=
=0AHowever, when control reaches 'a' in control doc. it is compared with 'd=
iv' in test doc. and hence reported as missing element=0Awhich is not the c=
ase really. Is there a way to get a report that says x is missing and href =
value of 'a' tags don't match?=0A=0ARegards,=0AVamsi=0A=0A=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
