Here is a sample XSLT 2.0 stylesheet that does the job with Saxon 9 and
the XML input samples you provided:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="url2" select="'test2009050404.xml'"/>
<xsl:variable name="d2" select="document($url2)"/>
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="$d2/*/*[not(some $c in current()/* satisfies
(node-name(.) eq node-name($c)))]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/*/*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="*[not(some $c in $d2/*/*[node-name(.) eq
node-name(current())]/* satisfies (node-name(.) eq node-name($c)))]"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="$d2/*/*[node-name(.) eq
node-name(current())]/*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

HI,
I'm trying to merge and copy two xml documents, into a new xml
document and in a nutshell no matter what xsl I write I have yet to
been able to get it to merge as I desire.
I don't just want the content of the elements, I want to make a copy
of each element making a new xml document. I've been utilizing the xsl
copy-of and the document() to try and do this, with merge and copy
examples as my guide.
After a day and a half of trying, I've gotten close, but still can't
get any one example to do what I need. I don't know what of my many
efforts to provide as an example, so I thought I should just
illustrate below what I want and see if anyone can offer help.
thanks in advance for any suggestions or examples.
This document is merged with doc2, to form a new version of doc1. Any
common elements from doc2 replace doc1s elements of the same name, any
new elements from doc2 are added
<doc1>
<a>
<a1></a1>
<a2></a2>
<!-- etc -->
</a>
<b>
<b1></b1>
<b2></b2>
<!--etc -->
</b>
<c>
<c1></c1>
<c2></c2>
<!--etc -->
</c>
</doc1>
All except root element should be merged into doc1, if element
already exists it replaces the ones in doc1
<doc2>
<c>
<c1>more recent stuff</c1>
<c2>more recent stuff</c2>
<!--etc -->
</c>
<d> new element not in doc1 </d>
</doc2>
final doc, which is just a new version of doc1:
<doc1>
<a>
<a1></a1>
<a2></a2>
<!-- etc -->
</a>
<b>
<b1></b1>
<b2></b2>
<!--etc -->
</b>
<c>
<c1>more recent stuff</c1>
<c2>more recent stuff</c2>
<!--etc -->
</c>
<d> new element not in doc1 </d>
</doc1>
thank you
