It's really intended for people trying to make geospatial data available in accordance with FGDC's content standards, but I suspect it can be tweaked for other uses. See http://www.compusult.nf.ca for details. You'll also want to have a look at Blue Angel's Meta Star Enterprise package (http://www.blueangeltech.com), which provides a Z39.50 server integrated with ODBC functionality. It provides pretty much everything you need for storing XML in databases and making it available through Z39.50. There is a commercial, Java package for Z39.50 work available, although I haven't tried it. It's called zedJava, and you can get further details at http://roadrunner.crxnet.com/wwwzedjava.html. Also, as a general rule, the Library of Congress is a good place to look for information on Z39.50 and X. Their website at http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/projects/software.html gives a fairly comprehensive list of the major software packages available for establishing Z39.50 client/server operations.
