DeltaXMLMergeException	Specifies an exceptional condition in the Merger.
DifferentRootElementException	Indicates that the inputs have different root elements.
DifferingOrderedAttributesException	The deltaxml:ordered attribute is placed on elements to control whether its children are processed using the ordered comparison algorithm or the orderless algorithm.
DoctypeChangeException	Indicates that inputs have different Doctype statements.
DoctypeMissingException	Indicates that inputs have different Doctype statements.
InvalidInputException	Indicates that an input is not of the correct format for this process.

LicenseSecurityException	An exception indicating a problem with the activation/licensing or other security related aspects of the DeltaXML software when the JVM is using a Security Manager.
NodeCapacityExceededException	The size of the input data exceeds the capacity permitted by the associated license.
NoLicenseInstalledException	An exception indicating that the software has not been successfully enabled with an appropriate license.
UnorderedDuplicateKeysException	An orderless element (one with the deltaxml:ordered='false' attribute) cannot contain more than one child element with the same name/type (ie.

Package com.deltaxml.merge Description

This package provides classes for Merging of XML inputs. Merging aligns the data/content in the XML and provides an output suitable for a number of use cases.

This package is designed for generic well-formed XML; other packages are provided for specific XML formats and content types such as DITA.

The ConcurrentMerge class provides an n-way merge where an ancestor version and a number of derivatives are recombined. A further class (ThreeWayMerge) provides extended capabilities for the common three-way use case and additionally provides a number of additional output formats and types (such as editor track-change formats).

The ThreeWayMerge class is similar to ConcurrentMerge but restricts the number of versions to be merged to three. This restriction allows ThreeWayMerge to provide additional options.

The SequentialMerge class supports an n-way merge for the case where, following the original document version, each new document version is an edit of the previous document version. The changes described in the combined document result are described in terms of sequential edits.
