Neil, Thanks for the details. I cannot build directly from the CVS repository as we are not using the latest Xerces version (but we will upgrade at some point). We managed to make it work by rebuilding the Xerces library with a specific Solaris compilation flag that turns on support for large file (under the cover, I think that the compiler will just replace all the open/write/close calls by the open64/write64/close64 ones. The complete Xerces code had no problem to compile that way and we could write file bigger than 2 gig for sure.
Which "fix" is the best, I am not sure. I am a little concern by the compilation flag for performance reason, but so far, everything seems to perform the same way.

Since we're using open instead of fopen, I believe it's necessary to or in O_LARGEFILE to the open call; but I have no sufficiently large files to test this. Thanks!

XMLPlatformUtils::openFileToWrite(utf16FileName); XMLPlatformUtils::writeBufferToFile(_fileHandle, _bufferedBytes, (XMLByte*)_fileBuffer); XMLPlatformUtils::closeFile(_fileHandle); It seems that those calls cannot be used for files bigger than 2 Gig. I check the XercesC source code, Solaris platform util implementation, it seems that a regular open is used to open the file while on Solaris, things like open64 (or something like that) must be used for large file support (I think). Can anybody confirm? If it is confirmed, is there anywhere an alternative to the default XMLPlatformUtils that will support large files? Thanks.
