Lucene as xml store

[Namrata Kumari]

  
hi,
 
I am a beginner to lucene , So kindly excuse me if the questions mentioned a
bit naive.
- Can I use lucene as an xml store + search engine?
- What I understood is that if we want to perform search on xml doc. we need
to parse xml document, form indexes and on the basis of fields perform
search. 
- So, does this mean, that even if we use lucene as xml store (IF WE CAN!!),
we need to parse it to form indexes?
 
Please reply to this as soon as possible
 
Regards,
Namrata
