Multiuser access to a shared resource under a web service


Suppose I want to write a webservice, where an XML file is loaded in
XmlDocument and then a web method is built that would take in an XPath
query as a parameter, and a string value.

The Xpath query would be used to find the node, and the value would update
the InnerXml attribute.

The question is: how can a web service provide multiuser access to the same
XmlDocument?

Should I use a mutex?

I'm not sure if a Web service that is accessed by multiple consumers each
would act like a thread on the shared document, or if there would be
collisions during simultaneous access.

In which case, do I have to write an external *Xmldocument* *server* ?
