RE: [xml-dev] merging xml files

[Pankaj Rathi <Pankaj.Rathi@cramer.com>]

Thanks Michael. Followed that now.

This leads me closer to my solution but there is this another problem. I
have..

  <xsl:template
match="struts-config/global-forwards[not(child::forward[@path='/test'])]">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="document('B.xml')//global-forwards//forward"/>
  </xsl:template>


This picks up the right element FROM B.xml. The test is correct BUT it gets
added at the wrong place. 
It gets added at the same level as 'struts-config/global-forwards' while I
want it to be at the same level as 'struts-config/global-forwards/forward'.

Many thanks again,

Pank

You tell me. In your requirements you said "under the defined location", but
you didn't define the location. Replace E with a pattern that matches the
defined location.
