I wanted to use it as a plugin replacement for MSXML which may be
causing us some problems. I can't just remove the xml functionality to
see if it is causing the problem as it causes lots of other
functionality to stop working (which may be where the problem is).

So I was hoping to to swap over to xerces and see if the problem goes
away. Unfortunately all our code relies on selectSingleNode and
selectNodes.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.
Chris.

Subject: Re: selectSingleNode and selectNodes in the COM interface

Hi Chris,
the issue is that the two methods accept an arbitrary XPath syntax,
while Xerces has just the minimal XPath support that XMLSchema uses to
identify duplicate nodes (maybe this is what you need...) The only
solution I see would be to build xml4com against both Xerces and Pathan
(an open source XPath engine - see
http://software.decisionsoft.com/pathanIntro.html). Even if this is more
a hack, as Pathan should be used to implement the DOMDocument::evaluate
method from DOML3...

BTW, who else is using the COM wrapper? Given the number of bugs that
have been entered against it, I always thought there are very few users.
