Title: Xecrses and Windows

thanks brad,

what i want is a COM implimentation of Xerces so that i can use this with say VC or VB as my XML parser instead of MSXML ( not that the MS version is bad or some thing, it's just that there are a lot of dependencies in my old app to xerces!)

Porting a Java app to Windows?  Since Xerces and Java apps in general work on Windows, I suppose what you are really saying is you are porting out of Java to another language in which you are using COM as the component architecture.  (I hope you aren't implying that you are using J++ -- if so, I would advise rethinking this if you can...J++ is dead, and there is little to no support on it).  If you are porting out of Java, then you should probably be looking at switching to the MSXML objects.  Basically, as soon as you are in the MS world, the answer for basically everything is at http://msdn.microsoft.com.  Not to get religious here, but MS doesn't issue specifications, they issue implementations, which means that most (if not all) framework-type pieces for a software app are going to come directly from MS, rather from a third party.  As another idea, you could COM-wrap Xerces, but that might be more trouble than its worth.

 

Now having said that, I will have to defer to one of the experts on the Apache projects...perhaps the C++ version has a COM implementation somewhere.
