Hi Mark,
the COM code compiles, but it hasn't been improved since long ago; we
got the feeling that nobody was using it, so we were thinking about
deprecating it.
So get a source distribution of Xerces and compile it (there is a
project for it inside the Visual C++ workspace), and let us know if
it does what you need. Knowing that someone uses it is important to us.
Thanks,
Alberto

There is mention in the Xerces build instructions for how to create
a COM wrapper for the Xerces 2.6.0 DOM implementation. This sounds
like what I want.
Googling around on this, I found one email on a list somewhere a
couple of years old that suggested that the COM wrapper was going to
be deprecated shortly. But it still seems to be there, and there are
more recent fixes checked in in the bug database. But it is not part
of the binary distribution.
I need to know if this COM wrapper is a living supported stable
solid part of the Xerces 2.6.0 DOM implementation. If so, it is
probably just what I am looking for. Alternately, are there any
other alternatives I should be looking at that would be a viable
open source alternative to MSXML's COM interfaces?
Thank you!
Best regards,
