What is command to show contents of AIX XercesC archive
Two versions of XML-xercesc are installed (xerces-c-src_2_8_0,
xerces-c1_5_1-AIX43) on the AIX machines i use. I have been using the AIX43
version for several years and i am switching to the 2_8_0 version. I am
getting link errors (using some deprecated classes). the AIX ar command
(with options -tv)does not work on either of the xerces .a files
(libxerces-c28.0.a, libxerces-c1_5_1.a). Is there another command i can use
to display the content of these xerces .a files?

A colleague and i downloaded and made the Xerces lib two more times (64-bit
then 32-bit). The 32-bit version seemed to work. (The .a files we made had
a different size all 3 times we ran the make.) When i linked my program with
the Xerces lib, all the Xerces load errors disappeared. I am left with just
one load error that is has nothing to do with Xerces, so i cannot run the
program yet.
P.S. I did not need the xerces-depdom.a file to get rid of the errors.
Again my thanks to Dale and Boris.

I am by no means an AIX expert though I think the reason why you can't
get symbols out of the archive is because it is actually a shared object.
(AIX uses .a files for actual archives as well as for shared objects).
I just tried to use dump -t on AIX 5.3 and I got the list of symbols
though they were mangled.
Also, I believe in 2.8.0 the deprecated DOM API is placed into a separate
library called libxerces-depdom.a.

Thank you for your quick response. The ar command failed on an AIX 5.3
machine as well as the AIX 5.1 machine. My company does not have an AIX 5.2
machine. I did get some useful information from the command 'dump -t
libxerces-c28.0.a|grep "DOM_"|pg' which told me that deprecated classes like
DOM_Node are in the .a file. So I and a few of my colleagues are planning
to download xerces again and compare the results with the original download.

Well, the ar command on my AIX 5.2 box seems to work OK with the 2_8_0
.a's I have, but we did build from source on that machine, and that
might affect things. An alternate approach would be to try dump -a
<filename>, which also dumps the archive headers (i.e. what .o's are in
the archive).
