Can 2 xml documents be added

[luthriaajay]

I need to add 2 xml documents

1)The first document is:

 
First.xml
-------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FIXML xmlns="http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-4-4">
    <Order Acct="MAC" Ccy="USD" ComplianceID="C" >
        <OrdQty Cash="1" Qty="500"/>
    </Order>
</FIXML>
 
 
 

2)The second document is

Second.xml
------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<i:Underlying value="KGF" xmlns:common="http://www.tfs.com/equity.derivatives/common" xmlns:i="common">
    <common:Code>KGF</common:Code>
    <common:Class>STOCK</common:Class>
</i:Underlying>
 
 

3) Full output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FIXML xmlns="http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-4-4">
    <Order Acct="MAC" Ccy="USD" ComplianceID="C" >
        <OrdQty Cash="1" Qty="500"/>
    </Order>
        <i:Underlying value="KGF" xmlns:common="http://www.tfs.com/equity.derivatives/common" xmlns:i="common">
    <common:Code>KGF</common:Code>
    <common:Class>STOCK</common:Class>
         </i:Underlying>
 
</FIXML>
 
 

I am using Java for this

Document firstXML.append(Second) 
 

doesnt work as I need to first reach element Order in the first XML
and from that point onwards append the 2nd XML?

Can 2 XML files be added?

[dorinbogdan]

Try something like:

Element root = firstXML.getDocumentElement();
Element root2 = secondXML.getDocumentElement();
root.appendChild(root2);
 
//code to save the final firstXML ...
 
 

For writing the changes see Save XML to file.

That Doesnt work Dorin (ie using getDocumentElement()).

These are the 2 xmls

 
DocumentOne 
-----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<i:Interest xmlns:i="http://www.ABC.com/interests:i">
<i:ID>0</i:ID><i:Generation/>
<i:Delta/><i:Ref/>
</i:Interest>
 
DocumentTwo
-----------
 
<i:Underlying xmlns:i="common" xmlns:common="http://www.ABC.com/common" value="KGF">
  <common:Code>KGF</common:Code> 
  <common:Class>STOCK</common:Class> 
</i:Underlying>
 
 
Output Format
-------------
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<i:Interest xmlns:i="http://www.ABC.com/interests:i">
<i:ID>0</i:ID><i:Generation/>
<i:Delta/><i:Ref/>
<i:Underlying xmlns:i="common" xmlns:common="http://www.ABC.com/common" value="KGF">
  <common:Code>KGF</common:Code> 
  <common:Class>STOCK</common:Class> 
</i:Underlying>
</i:Interest>
 
 

My Java code is trying to use this

 
DocumentOne.importNode(DocumentTwo,true)
DocumentOne.replaceChild...
 

Please,has anyone used the above methods?
How can I add both the XML docs?

[dorinbogdan]

If not working with getDocumentElement(), try to get the root elements using a loop like in this example .
