    You might want to take a look at sleepycat.com but I'm partial to some of
    the old tried-and-true models that have a similar data model to XML, such as
    the U2 databases from IBM (old PICK) or Cache' (old MUMPS). UniData or
    UniVerse (U2) from IBM give you a solid vendor, a long history of
    reliability, scalability & flexibility, and an XML data model. Using the
    Java interface is not trivial, but definitely doable (see www.pickwiki.com).
    There are a couple of open source PICK products too -- OpenQM (the Java
    interface is new) and Maverick at http://www.maverick-dbms.org/.

    Good luck! --dawn
