OK Guys, Finally I figured it out: XMLTask is very smart enough to understand the namespaces just by adding a "colon" in front i.e:
<insert path="/:web-app/:mime-mapping[last()]" position="after" file" insert.xml" /> And everything works fine. I small thing i noticed is that it adds an empty "xmlns" to all the mime-mappings i added,i don't know why....i.e. <mime-mapping xmlns="" > How can i change the status of this message as "SOLVED".
