<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";>
<web-app>

Are two different XML elements. The first belongs to an XML namespace,
the second doesn't. XSL is namespace-aware, and thus won't match
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";> when you tell it
to match <web-app>, and vice versa.

You could match both, but the problem is that the elements you want to
insert need to belong to the "proper" namespace too. <web-app
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";> not only says that the
'web-app' element belongs to the "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";
namespace, it also sets the "default" namespace. This means that all
elements enclosed in 'web-app' also belong to this namespace, while
the elements you want to insert, coming from another XML file, also
belong to some namespace. XSL doesn't do a "textual" insert, but a
"namespace-aware" insert in this case.

Sorry if the above is confusing. XSL and XML namespaces both have a
learning curve to them. --DD
