mod-xmldb provides the following services...

active:xmldbQuery provides both XPath and XQuery access to an XML collection
active:xmldbUpdate provides support for xml-update requests to an XML collection
xmldb: URI scheme provides SOURCE/SINK/EXISTS/DELETE support on a collection referenced by URI.

mod-xmldb has been tested with eXist but uses the XMLDB API and should be able to connect to any XML content repository the provides XMLDB drivers (similar to the JDBC abstraction).

The XMLDB module is currently tied to eXist-db XML database. The module is implemented using the standard xmldb API so is easily extensible to support other compliant database implementations.
