Hi:
The started element is at the same level as the server element and not a 
part of it.

I am providing a more complete snippet below of the orginal xml file say 
FileA --
<abc:configuration 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";  
xsi:schemaLocation="http://oracle.com/ 
xmlns/abcst/configurationconfiguration.xsd" locale="en" 
webcache="false"  rmi="true">
<started status="true"></started>
<server></server>
<servlet autoRetryAfter="5" charting="true" chartingTimeout="60" 
queryRefreshPeriod="6"</servlet>>
....
</abc:configuration>

This FileA needs to be merged with the FileB using xslt to get a final 
resultant file FileC.
FileB contains --
<abc:configuration 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";  
xsi:schemaLocation="http://oracle.com/ 
xmlns/abcst/configurationconfiguration.xsd" locale="en" 
webcache="false"  rmi="true" metadata="true" useMgmt="true">
 <drillOutDir></drillOutDir>
<started status="true">This application was stopped.</started>
<server></server>
<servlet autoRetryAfter="5" charting="true" chartingTimeout="60" 
queryRefreshPeriod="6"</servlet>>
....
</abc:configuration>

FileC should contain should contain all elements of A and the new 
elements of B with the common ones being merged--
FileC should contain --
<abc:configuration 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";  
xsi:schemaLocation="http://oracle.com/ 
xmlns/abcst/configurationconfiguration.xsd" locale="en" 
webcache="false"  rmi="true" metadata="true" useMgmt="true">
 <drillOutDir></drillOutDir>
<started status="true">This application was stopped.</started>
<server></server>
<servlet autoRetryAfter="5" charting="true" chartingTimeout="60" 
queryRefreshPeriod="6"</servlet>>
....
</abc:configuration>

Currently, everything gets copied correctly to FileC except the fact 
that the "started" element is copied/merged as an empty element such as 
<started></started>. If I take out the "started" element from the 
"server" node and place it outside, it does not even showup in the final 
merged output.

<xsl:template match="abc:configuration">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*[local-name() != 'rmi' and local-name() !=  
'locale']"/>
<xsl:attribute name="useMgmt">
<xsl:text>true</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="metadata"><xsl:text>true</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates>
   <xsl:sort select="boolean(self::server)" order="descending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
  <xsl:text></xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="server">
   <xsl:element name="drillOutDir">
       <xsl:value-of select="abc:configuration/drillOutDir"/
   </xsl:element>
   <xsl:element name="started">
       <xsl:copy-of select="@status[. = 'true' ]"/>
       <xsl:value-of select="../abc:configuration/started"/>
   </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="abc:configuration/started">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template> 

Please help.

Thanks.
