I've changed that to the following now:
<xsl:when test="action">
<xsl:apply-templates select="action"/>
</xsl:when>
unless you also moved the xsl:copy outside that is still going to give
you the problem that parents of action elements are not copied.
I don'tthink you want the xsl:choose at all.
Thanks to Dave Carlise's help, I now have the merge working as I wanted
it too. Dave, I did end up getting rid of the xsl:choose, I had in
the main template.
Anyway, I had to end up using a for loop to handle the output of the
forward elements the way I wanted too. For those that are intersted
here is the completed XSLT. Any way to shorten this or make it more
efficient would be appreciated.
This XSLT takes an struts-config.xml file, and merges it with an
external file that contains updates that need to be done to the action
elements and child forward elements.
