Actually I want to mine data from a website through xml and further want to save the specific values into the database. You know, XMLHTTP component that retrieves HTML of webpages. Is there any component in xml that retrieves XML instead of HTML?

I don't understand the problem. If you have XML documents on a web site you can fetch them with HTTP requests just like any other media type. Saving values into a database is another question - it depends very much on the tools that you want to use.
