The following code does not work.

    // <company>
    //     <product>Xerces-C</product>
    //     <category idea='great'>XML Parsing Tools</category>
    //     <developedBy>Apache Software Foundation</developedBy>
    // </company>

    DOM_DOMImplementation impl;

    DOM_Document doc = impl.createDocument(
                0,                    // root element namespace URI.
                "company",            // root element name
                DOM_DocumentType());  // document type object (DTD).

    DOM_Element rootElem = doc.getDocumentElement();

    DOM_Element  prodElem = doc.createElement("product");
    rootElem.appendChild(prodElem);

    DOM_Text    prodDataVal = doc.createTextNode("Xerces-C");
    prodElem.appendChild(prodDataVal);

    DOM_Element  catElem = doc.createElement("category");
    rootElem.appendChild(catElem);
    catElem.setAttribute("idea", "great");

    DOM_Text    catDataVal = doc.createTextNode("XML Parsing Tools");
    catElem.appendChild(catDataVal);

    DOM_Element  devByElem = doc.createElement("developedBy");
    rootElem.appendChild(devByElem);

    DOM_Text    devByDataVal = doc.createTextNode("Apache Software
Foundation");
    devByElem.appendChild(devByDataVal);

    //
    // Now count the number of elements in the above DOM tree.
    //

    unsigned int elementCount = doc.getElementsByTagName("*").getLength();
    cout << "The tree just created contains: " << elementCount
         << " elements." << endl;

    //
    //  The DOM document and its contents are reference counted, and need
    //  no explicit deletion.
    //
    return 0;
}

I was trying to use the above example to create a dom document in code.
However, this code
crashed when I tried to run it.  Upon digging a little deeper it appears
that some of the functions
required by the above code snippet are not implemented within the xerces
toolkit.

Another employee at my company downloaded the source and compiled it on our
system.
We are running OpenVMS and he implemented the necessary headers to port the
code to
VMS and utilize the approach you took to platform independence.  The
version that was used
was 1.0.0.
