Beginner - How can I override duplicate tags ?

[robinreg7]

I want to generate a Java bean (by means of WebSphere) to read and update a given XML file necessary to deal with the Internal Revenue Service of my country.
Unfortunately, there are a few duplicate tags and the WebSphere tool can't figure out how to deal with them properly.

What can I do ?
Can I rename the tags ?

If I put
<city_birth> instead of <city>

<city_of_residence> instead of <city>

will the IRS be able to read the file properly ?

Thanks
Roberto

The answer to your question is, "No."

However, you may develop a document using whatever element names you wish, then as a final step, use XSLT to produce the final document to be sent to the government agency.
