Xerces.pm with Xerces 1.3 and ICU 1.6
Hi all-
First, I'm trying to find Tom Watson (rtwatson@us.ibm.com) who
seemingly is the original author of the xerces-p code I grabbed from
xml.apache.org - his email was returned to me. If anybody knows his
new address (or if he's reading this) please let me know so I can talk to
him about this code. Thanks.
Now for the goodies. I have modified his code so that it runs, well
I think, under RedHat Linux 6.2, with Perl 5.6.0, ICU 1.6, and Xerces 1.3.0.
I built it with Swig 1.3a3. I have not tested this at all under Win32, so I
can almost guarantee that I have broken his original code, (I will try to get
that done soon), and I have not done much testing of it in general, but the
samples that were included seemed to work decently.
I'm attaching diffs in hopes that others might find this useful. I
based the diffs on the CVS repository as of 12/07/2000 - but I have not
commited any code. (Actually, I *cannot* commit any code. But I *would not*
commit this code until I fixed the Windows breakage that I'm sure I caused.)
The attached is generated from CVS diff and a little addendum of the new
Makefile.PL that was "added to the project".
As a final note, I'd love it if somebody can tell me how I can become
an active contributor/developer for this project. I'm not really wanting to
sit around on my tush and wait and watch others code when I am capable and
willing to help out. I'd love to assist with this project - how do I sign up?
Thanks,
-Eric.

Hey Eric,
The first obvious thing is that your tarball must be based off of Tom
Watson's original work and not off Harmon's work. We need to unify
this ASAP.
Tom's original code only supports DOM. Harmon's supports the entire
API, and I believe that should be the one that we spend our time
working on.

I believe that after Tom Watson stepped down as the project leader for
Xerces Perl, Harmon Nine volunteered (was volunteered???) to take over
as leader of the project. As such he is the only person with commit
access to the repository.
If I understand the apache procedure correctly (Mike Pogue can correct
me if I'm wrong) We, as a group, can vote to bestoy commit priveleges
to others.
I have been very side-tracked in the past months and haven't had the
time to invest in getting Xerces-perl moving. I needed a different
solution. Now I would like to come back and start offering some cycles
to the project.
I am volunteering to get all the work into the CVS repository,
starting with Harmon's xerces-1.1.0 and then Eric's work. I have 6
years experience managing cvs repositories, and am currently mainainer
of two projects on sourceforge.
How do people feel about this? Harmon? Mike?

Well, here it is. I would much prefer the appropriate person(s) let me know
what the procedure is to get this into the repository - or into the hands of
the person who can get it in the repository.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the work. Could you please email me the tarball? Actually,
it's not like the list is exactly crushing under the weight of all the
traffic, so I think you could post to the list as well...

Hi all-
I have found and fixed a couple little bugs today:
* DOM::Attr::setSpecified was removed from Xerces 1.3, calling
the Perl stub caused an error. I have removed this function as
was indicated correct by the Xerces code.
* DOM::CharacterData::setData was calling an undefined function. I
found an appropriate substitute and fixed the call.
I have also started looking into the following issues:
* DOM::Document::importNode fails with incorrect results.
* DOMPARSE::doc functions incorrectly. I believe the error is
actually in DOM::Node::getParentNode.
* DOM::Document::getElementsByTagName segfaults if parameter
is not found.
* DOM::DocumentType::getName segfaults if the name is undefined (NULL?)
* DOM::NodeList::item segfaults if index is out of bounds
* DOM::Parser is totally undocumented.
I have a new tarball ready to send to anybody who asks for it, but I'm not
going to continue to clutter this maillist with updates. I'd be happy to
submit code directly to the repository, or to somebody else to manage, but I
have not had any feedback on who's in charge of the xerces-perl project or how
to get access to the repository. If anybody has information on this, please
share it with me.
Oh, and I have not yet tested this on Win32. I will do so if and when it
looks like it might get in the repository. I'd love some assistance in this
area if anybody would like to volunteer!
Re: Xerces.pm with Xerces 1.3 and ICU 1.6
Posted by "Eric J. Peters" <er...@sammg.com>.
Well, moving on with this code, I have found numerous errors. I'm fixing what
I find as I find it, but I still have no formal procedure to submit my changes
to the repository, so other cannot easily access it. So, I have a tarball of
the code right now sitting here waiting to be mailed to any who wants it.
Just ask for the xerces-p tarball at: erpeters@sammg.com
It compiles well, runs great, and when it doesn't the fixes are pretty simple.
I'm planning on finishing testing all the existing api calls over the next few
weeks, and I'll audit the code against the xerces-c library and/or do some
profiling after that.
Enjoy,
-Eric.

Re: Xerces.pm with Xerces 1.3 and ICU 1.6
Posted by "Parand T. Darugar" <td...@velocigen.com>.
Dear Eric,
I'm anxious to give this a try. Would it be possible
to send me a tar of the full code (after diffs) so I
can put it on the temporary web site? That seems to be
the most convenient way to get people to try packages:
