XML files are uploaded to the server by only "super users", and  
eventually augmented with other information by them later. They are  
simply stored as files in a non-served directory. After that no one  
can access it but the server, who answers the "other web app"'s  
questions.

These two apps are part of a university project, that's the reason of  
being dbless.
