now i want to save the xmldoc from the script back to the file…

anyone have idea about that??

You have an XML file inside your rendered html / javascript.  To save it back to the repository, you need to write a web script that allows you to POST or PUT it back onto the server. 

A potential alternative is to use UploadContentServlet - if you want to store it in a specific space this might work.
