Thanks much, Brian for your prompt response – that was it- I didn’t read the documentation regarding the <taskdef> definition thoroughly enough. Two files = two taskdef

You need to copy from one file into another. <xmltask> will transform a source into a destination. So you need something like:

<xmltask source="source_file.xml"> 
<copy....

and then

<xmltask source="dest_file.xml" dest="dest_file.xml">
<insert...
</xmltask>

So the first <xmltask> reads from one file, and the second pastes into dest_file.xml. Note the comment in the documentation regarding the <taskdef> definition of <xmltask> and classpaths.

I am attempting to copy a section of xml from one file and insert it at a specified position in another file.

Here is my source file example:

<application-list>

<name>

myname

<name>

<authorization-provider-class>

My.class.java

</authorization-provider-class>

</application>

</application-list>

Here is my dest file example:

<application-list>

<name>

myOthername

<name>

<authorization-provider-class>

My.Otherclass.java

</authorization-provider-class>

</application>

</application-list>

The goal is to insert just the <application> section from my source file to my destination file

after the last <application> tag in the dest file but before <application-list> tag.

The code I am using is as follows:

</xmltask>

There are 2 problems that occur when I run this:

The values for all the elements are replaced with the values of the buffers elements

The section is inserted the first time with the wrong values as mentioned above.

Any additional time I run the task, nothing is inserted.

Unfortunately, the final file always looks like this:

<application-list>

<name>

myOthername

<name>

<authorization-provider-class>

My.Otherclass.java

</authorization-provider-class>

</application>

<name>

myOthername

<name>

<authorization-provider-class>

My.Otherclass.java

</authorization-provider-class>

</application>

</application-list>

Please Help!!!!!
