Ok, I can't get it to work ... here's my code:

String xmlTemplate = "c:\\temp\\ordermessage.xml";
String newXmlTemplate = "c:\\temp\\changedordermessage.xml";

XMLConfiguration xmlCfg = new XMLConfiguration(xmlTemplate);
xmlCfg.setValidating(false);
xmlCfg.setEncoding("UTF-8");
xmlCfg.setProperty("[@payloadID]", ""+System.currentTimeMillis());
xmlCfg.setProperty("[@timestamp]", new Date().toString());
FileWriter outter = new FileWriter(newXmlTemplate);
xmlCfg.save(outter);
outter.close();
xmlCfg.clear();

And here is the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.008/cXML.dtd">
<cXML payloadID="29066032971189013758490" timestamp="2007-09-12T09:34:16-05:00">
  <Header>
    <To>
      <Credential domain="testID">
        <Identity>12345</Identity>
      </Credential>
    </To>
  </Header>
</cXML>
