How about creating a servlet called something like update, then map
all urls to it:

*/update

the call it using the path of the XML that you want to update:

/root/elem1/elem2/update

the update servlet will know what needs to be updated based on the url.

A couple of large caveats - I'm not sure if that's even possible
(haven't worked in that area very much) or if that's considered
restful (ditto).
