It's for a client. They have 3 xml files, each with a different namespace. And they want all of them to be used while processing a file that substitutes in xml in places.
I already have it working for a single xml file using dom4j. So if I can just somehow "add" that additional xml files to the same dom4j Document, then I can process the file substituting from multiple xml files. The alternative is to process one at a time. But I think in that case I am left having to do the namespace checking. thanks - dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "David D.
