As an example lets have 'document1':

</doc>

and 'document2':

<doc2>
    <element>some text 2</element>
    <other-element>some other text</other-element>
</doc2>

and 'document3':

<doc3>
    <element>some text 3</element>
    <other-element>some other text</other-element>
</doc3>

with the following configuration:

<XMLMerge>
    <MergeInfo source="document1"/>
    <MergeInfo source="document2"
               xpath-source="/doc2/element"
               xpath-dest="/doc" />
    <MergeInfo source="document3"
               xpath-source="/doc3/element"
               xpath-dest="/doc" />
</XMLMerge>

we get as output the following XML document:

<doc>
    <element>some text</element>
    <element>some text 2</element>
    <element>some text 3</element>
</doc>
