DOMString deprecated in Xerces 2.0
I'm currently moving some code over from Xerces 1.7 -> Xerces 2.0 which
uses DOMString heavily (many hundreds of occurrences).
It's difficult to implement certain functions (eg. those previously
returning const DOMString objects) are tough to implement using raw
XMLCh * pointers.
Hence I'd be inclined to write a reference counted String class wrapping
XMLCh *.
However, given that this is pretty much what DOMString did, before doing
so I'd be interested to know if such a wrapper class was planned in the
immediate future of Xerces or, indeed, what the recommended way of
handling strings in Xerces-C 2 now is.
Pointers and XMLString:: leads to very verbose code and extensive use of
explicit delete.
Regards,
Tom Ford

Hi Tom,
I don't know what the official plans are, but I created a version of
DOMString that while is not reference counted, does wrap a raw XMLCh* and
employs COW. This may work for what you want. I have attached it for your
convenience.
Cheers,
Lenny
