Re: merging two XMLs in java

See the Document.importNode(Node) method -->
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Document.html#importNode(org.w3c.dom.Node, boolean)

You have to import a node into a document before you can add it to it.

As for turning it into a String, try using a StringWriter...

Document doc = myDocument();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer()
        .transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(sw));
String xml_string = sw.toString();


Hope this helps
