Here is an example of using JDOM to create a new XML file:
// require(groupId:'xmlunit', artifactId:'xmlunit', version:'1.0') // require(groupId:'jdom', artifactId:'jdom', version:'1.0') import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.* import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter import org.jdom.* def addCar(root, name, make, year, country, type, text) { def car = new Element('car') car.setAttribute('name', name) car.setAttribute('make', make) car.setAttribute('year', year) root.addContent(car) def countryNode = new Element('country').setText(country) car.addContent(countryNode) def record = new Element('record').setText(text) record.setAttribute('type', type) car.addContent(record) } def root = new Element('records') def document = new Document(root) document.setRootElement(root) addCar(root, 'HSV Maloo', 'Holden', '2006', 'Australia', 'speed', 'Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph') addCar(root, 'P50', 'Peel', '1962', 'Isle of Man', 'size', 'Smallest Street-Legal Car at 99cm wide and 59 kg in weight') addCar(root, 'Royale', 'Bugatti', '1931', 'France', 'price', 'Most Valuable Car at $15 million') // convert resulting document to a string so that we can compare XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true) def writer = new StringWriter() new XMLOutputter().output(document, writer) def xmlDiff = new Diff(writer.toString(), XmlExamples.CAR_RECORDS) assert xmlDiff.similar()
We have used XMLUnit to compare the XML we created with our sample XML. To do this, make sure the sample XML is available, i.e. that the following class is added to your CLASSPATH:
XmlExamples.groovy
class XmlExamples {
static def CAR_RECORDS = '''
<records>
<car name='HSV Maloo' make='Holden' year='2006'>
<country>Australia</country>
<record type='speed'>Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph</record>
</car>
<car name='P50' make='Peel' year='1962'>
<country>Isle of Man</country>
<record type='size'>Smallest Street-Legal Car at 99cm wide and 59 kg in weight</record>
</car>
<car name='Royale' make='Bugatti' year='1931'>
<country>France</country>
<record type='price'>Most Valuable Car at $15 million</record>
</car>
</records>
'''
}
