If you are feeling brave, you can try putting the XML documents into a native XML 
database like (open source) dbXML at
http://www.dbxml.org.  The produst is suppose to be optimized for large numbers of 
small documents.  Also, it supports
XML-RPC, which has a CF implementation available.  Or if you are java savy, you can 
write your own classes to access the
db.

Subject: [cf-xml] how can i do this


I have a directory full of XML format news stories. The names of these files
contain the date and time stamp of each story. The entire batch of files are
held in a stories folder.

A link list will be downloaded from a server every 15 minutes, which will
contain 5-10 links to these news stories, referenced via the file name which
is either in the stories directory or has been added at the point at which
the link list has been downloaded.

What would be the best way of abstracting the data in the news stories, so
that a search page can be developed, to enable users to search current and
previous stories? Also what is the best way to query these types of XML
files, since the file names change regularly?

Is there a predefined format that people are using out there to query XML?

In the past I have used the SOXML tag to query XML. I find this method
pretty long winded, especially when there are hundreds of files to render.
Are their other methodologies that are ideal for this type of situation?



Thank You
Regards
GP
