Thanks everybody! I think I'll go with XMLString::transcode(char*). It's not so "compiler-dependent".

You have three choices: 1) if your compiler supports Unicode characters in the source code (usually by the L modifier) you can write static const XMLCh gFileToTrap[] = L"personal.dtd"; 2) if your compiler doesn't support Unicode character, you have to write the array character by character, either using static const XMLCh gFileToTrap[] = { chLatin_p, chLatin_e, chLatin_r, chLatin_s, chLatin_o, chLatin_n , chLatin_a, chLatin_l, chPeriod, chLatin_d, chLatin_t, chLatin_d, , chNull }; or static const XMLCh gFileToTrap[] = { 'p', 'e', 'r', 's', 'o', 'n', 'a', 'l', '.', 'd', 't', 'd', 0 }; 3) if you don't option 2, you have to do the conversion at runtime using a transcoder, like in const XMLCh* gFileToTrap=XMLString::transcode("personal.dtd"); Don't forget to delete the string by using XMLString::release(&gFileToTrap); also, you must allocate it after XMLPlatformUtils::initialize and deallocate it before XMLPlatformUtils::terminate.
