I'm very interested in Xindice, and have started playing with a ColdFusion interface to the database. Xindice looks like a perfect solution to the scalability problem of storing and querying many XML documents on your file system, but it's not an alternative to standard relational databases in most cases.
If anyone else has started on a ColdFusion interface for Xindice, or has any ideas on how best to implement one, speak up! Matt's article is at http://www.devx.com/xml/articles/ml062502/ml062502-1.asp I've invited him to join this list, so he may be able to help with any queries on Xindice and other native XML databases.
