  1. POMerge Two XML Files in Java
    text
    copied!<p>I have two XML files of similar structure which I wish to merge into one file. Currently I am using <a href="http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2007/jw-07-xmlmerge.html?page=1" rel="noreferrer">EL4J XML Merge</a> which I came across in this tutorial. However it does not merge as I expect it to for instances the main problem is its not merging the from both files into one element aka one that contains 1, 2, 3 and 4. Instead it just discards either 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 depending on which file is merged first.</p> <p>So I would be grateful to anyone who has experience with XML Merge if they could tell me what I might be doing wrong or alternatively does anyone know of a good XML API for Java that would be capable of merging the files as I require?</p> <p>Many Thanks for Your Help in Advance</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>Could really do with some good suggestions on doing this so added a bounty. I've tried jdigital's suggestion but still having issues with XML merge.</p> <p>Below is a sample of the type of structure of XML files that I am trying to merge.</p> <pre><code>&lt;run xmloutputversion="1.02"&gt; &lt;info type="a" /&gt; &lt;debugging level="0" /&gt; &lt;host starttime="1237144741" endtime="1237144751"&gt; &lt;status state="up" reason="somereason"/&gt; &lt;something avalue="test" test="alpha" /&gt; &lt;target&gt; &lt;system name="computer" /&gt; &lt;/target&gt; &lt;results&gt; &lt;result id="1"&gt; &lt;state value="test" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;result id="2"&gt; &lt;state value="test4" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma4" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;/results&gt; &lt;times something="0" /&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;runstats&gt; &lt;finished time="1237144751" timestr="Sun Mar 15 19:19:11 2009"/&gt; &lt;result total="0" /&gt; &lt;/runstats&gt; &lt;/run&gt; &lt;run xmloutputversion="1.02"&gt; &lt;info type="b" /&gt; &lt;debugging level="0" /&gt; &lt;host starttime="1237144741" endtime="1237144751"&gt; &lt;status state="down" reason="somereason"/&gt; &lt;something avalue="test" test="alpha" /&gt; &lt;target&gt; &lt;system name="computer" /&gt; &lt;/target&gt; &lt;results&gt; &lt;result id="3"&gt; &lt;state value="testagain" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma2" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;result id="4"&gt; &lt;state value="testagain4" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma4" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;/results&gt; &lt;times something="0" /&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;runstats&gt; &lt;finished time="1237144751" timestr="Sun Mar 15 19:19:11 2009"/&gt; &lt;result total="0" /&gt; &lt;/runstats&gt; &lt;/run&gt; </code></pre> <p>Expected output </p> <pre><code>&lt;run xmloutputversion="1.02"&gt; &lt;info type="a" /&gt; &lt;debugging level="0" /&gt; &lt;host starttime="1237144741" endtime="1237144751"&gt; &lt;status state="down" reason="somereason"/&gt; &lt;status state="up" reason="somereason"/&gt; &lt;something avalue="test" test="alpha" /&gt; &lt;target&gt; &lt;system name="computer" /&gt; &lt;/target&gt; &lt;results&gt; &lt;result id="1"&gt; &lt;state value="test" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;result id="2"&gt; &lt;state value="test4" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma4" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;result id="3"&gt; &lt;state value="testagain" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma2" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;result id="4"&gt; &lt;state value="testagain4" /&gt; &lt;service value="gamma4" /&gt; &lt;/result&gt; &lt;/results&gt; &lt;times something="0" /&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;runstats&gt; &lt;finished time="1237144751" timestr="Sun Mar 15 19:19:11 2009"/&gt; &lt;result total="0" /&gt; &lt;/runstats&gt; &lt;/run&gt; </code></pre>
