Hello Xerces-C developers. I am writing a CORBA wrapper around the DOM APIs (especially Load-Save), as I wanted a schema-validating parser that I could call from Eiffel (or indeed any other language I might want to use). I have a number of questions about where the Xerces interfaces differ from the W3C IDL.
Firstly, DOMImplementationLS and DOMImplementation are not defined in the IDL as inheriting from each other. It seems reasonable to me that DOMImplementationLS might inherit from DOMImplementation, but you have done it the other way round. Might I know the thinking behind this decision? Secondly, the IDL specifies the parseURI method as not raising any exceptions, but you have defined it as possibly raising DOMException, SAXException or XMLException. This seems an odd decision to me, as surely the parse should just report parse errors by passing DOMError to the errorHandler? I am well aware that these interfaces are liable to change (as indeed will the W3C IDL specifications), but it will help me to know what your thinking is on this. -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
