Xerces DOM Multithread issue

[Keith Mendoza <ke...@panasonic.aero>]

Hi,

I just want to make sure that I understand the answer to the "Is
Xerces-C++ thread safe?" FAQ.

I'm going to use a code snippet to show what I'm trying to get at

XercesDOMParser *parser = new XercesDOMParser;
parser->parse(myFile);
DOMDocument *xmlDoc = parser->getDocument();
DOMElement *rootElement = xmlDoc->getDocumentElement();
DOMNodeList *nodeList = rootElement->getElementsByTagName(nodeName);

If my thread-spawned function that contains the following lines (where
pos = 1 on the first thread and pos = 2 on the second thread)

DOMNode *workOnNode nodeList->item(pos);
DOMElement *threadElement = dynamic_cast<DOMElement *>(workOnNode);

This would not work if both threads try to access nodeList at the same
time since there's only one instance of the DOM document.

Is my understanding correct?

Thanks
