RE: Xerces2.3 Compile errors On VC7.1

Title: RE: Xerces2.3 Compile errors On VC7.1

We have been using MS parser in lot of our products in the past. It has created more headache for us. A lot of it has to do with backward compatibility. Every new release end up creating problems for applications using older version. Sometime they even mess up the features within same version for different service pack release. And then some MS products require newer versions of XML parser. So user has no choice but to accept whatever MS wants. This sometimes has broken the existing applications. Other issue is MS parser has not moved to DOM2 level.

There are some properietry features in their parser that I like especially namespace support for SOAP messages. But I am more concerned about consistent behaviour from version to version.

Can I ask why you are moving away from the MSXML parser? I was thinking of using that instead of Xerces in the future.  Perhaps you have some reasons I should reconsider?

 

Thanks

It would be great that if I can get to use new version of Xerces. I am starting a huge project next Monday and I would definitely like to use new parser if I can. We are tryingto move away from MS XML Parser. I have been very happy with Xerces 2.2 so far.

Can you point me to some tarbal tools?

Thanks,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,

Sounds like you need to download some tools to handle tarballs.  :)

Anyway, next week I'll try and upload some new binaries into our nightly
directories; it's been a while since the last release and some
bugs--particularly with respect to MSVC 7.1--have been fixed.

Cheers,
Neil

I tried all 4 build and none of them could be opened. All throw error
"Error reading header after processing 0 entries".

May be its not my luck to use new version of Xercess. I think i will go
back to using older version.

Thanks.

You can get nightly tarballs from here, if you don't want to set up CVS on
your machine:

   http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/xml-xerces/

By the way, can you please set your newsreader to send plain text instead
of HTML?

Dave

Here is million dollar question...
How do I get the newest source for Xercess2.3 from CVS? The reason I am
asking is because I don't know how to use the CVS system. Is there is a
simple way to get it. I tried to patch couple of files. But does not seem
to work. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It's better if you get the whole tree; I had to patch several files to make

VC++ 7.1 compile Xerces 2.3
