Merge config.xml

Question

Hi,
WLS 6.1
Is there a xsl stylesheet that merges two config.xml files?
The idea is the following:
We have a master config.xml, configuring the admin server and the core of
our product.
For each optional part of our product, we have a specific config.xml file,
defining servers, connection pools, JMS pool, and so on. Some of these
configuration files might reference the same server.
We would like to include each of those specific config.xml into the main
one, avoiding duplication of server definitions, pools, etc...
It seems that a xsl stylesheet could do that (at least for one specific
config.xml), but I did not find anything. Does anyone have any idea on how
to do this?
Thanks,
Patrick

Remove duplicate server from config.xml with xslt:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1" version="1.0" method="xml" />
<xsl:template match ="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//server[not(preceding::server/@name=@name)]">
<xsl:copy-of select="*" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thank you for your (very) fast answer.
I'm wondering if this will avoid duplicate server entries though.
For example, if server A is defined in config1.xml and in config2.xml,
I
guess I'll have it defined twice in the reulting xml document.
Is that correct? Does WLS handle this easily?

Merge xml documents with the xslt document() function.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="document('Config2.xml')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
