An alternative could be serializing the XML content into a String and
saving it in a database or a fast key-value store.
I have used code like this:
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(1024);
XmiCasSerializer ser = new
XmiCasSerializer(cas.getTypeSystem());
ser.serialize(cas.getCas(), (new XMLSerializer(out,
false)).getContentHandler());
out.close();
String xmlContent = out.toString();
Best,
Massimo
