XML Merge Utility (Any Available ?)

I am looking for a way to merge two xml documents where any
new elements will be inserted into the tree and any matching
elements will have their content updated.  Before I embarked
upon writing that function myself, I wanted to see if it has been
done already.

Also would this be easier to do in Java / DOM or devise a template
and use XSLT ??

TIA
John G
