Comparison Service Restrictions
The following restrictions are enforced by the Comparison Service.
Some of these arise from a desire to provide a fast service to all users through an equitable distribution of our server resources, others arise from the underlying XML technology used to provide the service.
Restrictions include:
- The data being compared (by file upload or URL specification) must be well-formed XML.
- The root element of the two datasets must be equal (have the same localname and namespace URI).
- You may only upload a total of 10MBs of data for each comparison operation.
- To avoid denial-of-service problems with entity expansion bombs we restrict the J2SE 5.0 entity expansion limit to 32,000 expansions.
Please contact us if you wish to discuss these restrictions further, or register and then request an SDK evaluation to run our software locally on your system.
