RE: Joining Multiple XML using XPath API of XALAN

Dennis --

Does someone have examples to merge multiple xml files
using XALAN XPath API.
All the XMLs are conforming to the same schema and
they have to be merged to make a common XML.
I know we can write an XSL for such a transformation
but JAVA code will be more efficient.
Any thoughts or pointers will help.

XPath is for querying documents, and the Xalan XPathAPI API works well against 
any number of documents.

Java code that uses XPath (and therefore a DOM) will not be the most efficient 
option.  SAX or just plain string or stream operations will be the most 
efficient.

What are your particular requirements?  Using XSLT for this sort of thing is 
really a pretty good idea...
