Dear Paul,
To a simple question a simple answer:
1-Get data from database using a Select statment or
the provided APIs (if any).
2-Parse it to XML using one of the XML parsers
available from Sun, IBM, Oracle...
3-Open a TCP/IP connection to your destination: FTP,
HTTP, SMTP...
4-Send document.
In summery, you need:TCP/IP, Application connection
method(API, JDBC, ODBC..) and an XML parser.
You can do the above steps in Java in app. 10 lines of
code.
If encryption is needed, it can be done between after
step 2.
Hope to have clarified a bit the work to be done.
