Changed behaviour between spring-ws-test 3.0.10.RELEASE and 3.1.1

All my tests are green using spring-ws-test 3.0.10.RELEASE but when bumping to 3.1.1 I get the following types of failures:

Wrong namespace

It might be related to #1203 ?

I am experiencing the same issue in my ws tests. Workaround is to call XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true) in appropriate ws tests. However, I suggest to put back static { XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true); } to DiffMatcher so that projects can easily upgrade spring-ws without broken build investigation as in my case. Moreover, static { XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true); } is still called from SoapEnvelopeDiffMatcher anyway.

This could be a duplicate of #1193, which has since been fixed on 3.1.x and available with 3.1.5 release. See if that resolves your problem.

Based upon positive feedback from c39d3d1, I'm closing this ticket as resolved.
