This is probably not going to help Benjamin. When you need to manipulate XML,
you need to manipulate XML. Fronting or converting the file to a DB is
typically not an option (how about tools that allow to modify this XML file?
Are you going to hack them to store their data to a DB as well?)
I think Benjamin should extend Rickard's proposition with Helper classes. Just
like you can have a bunch of "external" (server-classloader-loaded) helper
classes, you could have similar classes that parse, load and store an XML
file.
