[xml] Multiple users for same XML file...

Hello,
I'm faced with the following: I have an XML based configuration file
for a program and now I should write a CGI based webinterface to
allow
people to easily manage the behavior of the application. Now this
itself isn't
so much of a problem to do, but where I run into a wall is multi user
access at the same time... I just can't figure out anyway to allow
more than one user at at time to work with the data without having
inconsistency problems. Has anyone ever done this before or is it, as
I believe, impossible to do?

The only possible approach I see is to
have an interface (I already use SOAP for other purposes) to the
daemon that then can controls who operates on which objects and thus
can "lock" them during that time to prevent data inconsistency...




Best regards,
 Gabriel
B
