Scalable Distributed Attack Platform

In order to perform a merge of two XML files the following process takes place:-

1. First XML file is translated to an objective form using xstream.
2. Second XML file is translated to an objective form using xstream.
3. Using annotations that have been specified in the classes representing the XML files data structure, identifcations can be made on how the merge process takes place.
   The annotations are either specified per field or a default can be set on the class or a higher class and this will be used if no lower scoped annotation is visible.
4. New object representing the two merged files is produced.
5. Object translated back to XML using xstream.
