XMLBench download
The XMLBench test program I used to measure Java document model performance is structured as a test driver with extensions for each supported model. The test driver calls virtual methods that need to be implemented for each document model to actually run the tests. Test implementations for the models discussed in the article are included in the downloads from this page.
The program is available here in two forms. Downloading the code jar gives source code, JavaDocs, and class files for the program. In order to actually run any tests you'll need to also have the jar files for the document models you're testing, along with any supporting libraries.
The full jar provides everything you need to build the program and run the tests, including the versions of the document model jars used for the published test results. This includes the Electric XML jar file, so you'll need to agree to the terms of the license for that product as it applies to the exml.jar file included in the distribution. This license applies only to that particular file, and you can void the license by deleting the file from your system after downloading and unpacking the distribution jar.
Both distribution jars include an Ant build.xml file to build the project. The full jar also includes the testtime.sh and testmem.sh files that show the classpath settings used for these tests, as well as most of the test documents. Only the nt.xml file is omitted from the full jar. The license for this file requires that it only be distributed in combination with several other related files which were not used for these tests. One place you can obtain this set of files is xml.com.
The main class for the program is com.sosnoski.xmlbench.XMLBench. If executed without command line parameters, it prints a summary of the parameters, which include a variety of possible output formats and test variations.
