This is one of the error messages I get from CW:
Error : ambiguous access to overloaded function
'XalanDOMString::equals(const XalanDOMString &, const XalanDOMString &)'
'equals(const XalanDOMString &, const XalanDOMString &)'
DOMServices.cpp line 566 s_XMLNamespaceWithSeparator);
This is the code that causes it:
const bool isPrefix = len <=
s_XMLNamespaceWithSeparatorLength ? false :
equals(substring(aname,
0,
s_XMLNamespaceWithSeparatorLength),
s_XMLNamespaceWithSeparator);
I can fix it by forcing it to use XalanDOMString namespace, but this is
unsatisfactory. It may be that CW has problems resolving namespaces.
