Hi,
Probably the best way to do that is with XML entities:
<!ENTITY commonmappings SYSTEM "commonmappings.xml">
<persistence-units>
<persistence-unit name="pu1">
&commonmappings;
<mapping-file>pu1-mappings.xml</mapping-file>
</persistence-unit>
<persistence-unit name="pu2">
&commonmappings;
<mapping-file>pu2-mappings.xml</mapping-file>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence-units>
