Have a look at these two revised files from my earlier proposed solution. By
adding the namespaces to the root element in both insert.xml and web.xml, you
will get the output you want, and the namespace declarations appear only once,
in the root element of the output.
insert.xml
================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mime-mapping
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";
version="2.5">
<extension>txt</extension>
<mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
web.xml
================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
version="2.5"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee";>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>html</extension>
<mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
</web-app>

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".
Thanks a lot guys
