Thats what I grabbed.  There are no "back-ends" other than file and
Xindice?

I want to use xmlBlaster primarily via XML-RPC to integrate a rather
large collection of legacy applications written in AcuCOBOL, C, and
Informix 4gl with a new web application written (at least the front end)
in PHP.  At this point I don't need to use any protocol other than
XML-RPC but the message volume may be fairly high at times (~250
messages a second) and nil at other times.

Is xmlBlaster at a stage where it can be used with something like this? 
My primary concern is the backend as the FAQ mentions that the file one
should not be used beyond a few hundred messages.

Our initial testing will be on Linux, but a nice RS/6000 with a gig of
RAM will probably be used if it goes production.  I assume xmlBlaster is
happy on AIX using their JVM?
