          NodeDetail controlNodeDetail,
          NodeDetail testNodeDetail)

Copy constructor using prototype Difference and encountered NodeDetails

Method Detail

getId

public int getId()

Returns:

the id

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Returns:

the description

isRecoverable

public boolean isRecoverable()

Returns:

TRUE if the difference represents a similarity, FALSE otherwise

setRecoverable

protected void setRecoverable(boolean overrideValue)

Allow the recoverable field value to be overridden. Used when an override DifferenceListener is used in conjunction with a DetailedDiff.

getControlNodeDetail

public NodeDetail getControlNodeDetail()

Returns:

the NodeDetail from the piece of XML used as the control at the Node where this difference was encountered

getTestNodeDetail

public NodeDetail getTestNodeDetail()

Returns:

the NodeDetail from the piece of XML used as the test at the Node where this difference was encountered

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Now that Differences can be constructed from prototypes we need to be able to compare them to those in DifferenceConstants

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

hashcode implementation to go with equals.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a basic representation of the object state and identity and if NodeDetail instances are populated append their details also
