search and replace kind of operations with XML
For a given XML input, I would need to perform 'Search
and Replace' operation on Element/Attribute Tag names
and values. The resultant output is a transformed XML.
Since I would like to change both Tags and Values,
what is the best way to accomplish this? XSLT or
Xpath/XQuery or combination of both?
OR are there any special apis in XmlBeans to
accomplish this?

You can do this in XmlBeans by using the XmlCursor.setName() and
XmlCursor.setTextValue() methods. This is the most efficient way and
it's easy enough to code, IMO.
Alteratively, XMLBeans supports XQuery via Saxon integration, but, as
far as I know, in XQuery you can't change a document "in-place" and you
basically need to create a new doc with everything from the original doc
in it, except the elements which now need to have new names. Way more
trouble than it's worth.

Am already using XmlBeans. I would need to see how I
can integrate VTD-XML with XMLBeans.
I agree with you that VTD-XML is an ideal match for
what I want to accomplish. I would still prefer if
XmlBeans offers anything on this line.
Thanks Jimmy.

I think you may find VTD-XML ideally suited for this (better than any
other technologies AFAIK ) because of its incremental update capability and
built-in
