"working with Dom input and output" pattern but with DOM objects created with NEW

["Tankel, Ifat" <If...@icomverse.com>]

Hi,
I am using the first part of usage pattern named "working with Dom input and
output" 
to create a XalanDocument. This is done in an init method of a class I wrote
(in c++)

// some of the members of my class
static DOMParser *_domParser;
static XercesParserLiaison * _parserLiaison;
DOM_Document * _domDocument;
XalanDocument * _xalanReelDoc;

// initiating the class members
_domParser=new DOMParser();
_parserLiaison = new XercesParserLiaison();
_domDocument =new DOMDocument();

_domParser->parse( xmlfileSource);
*_domDocument= _domParser->getDocument();
_xalanRealDoc= _parserLiaison->createDocument(*_domDocument)


The difference is that I use "new" to create the DOMParser,
XercesParserLiaison and DOMDocument.

I wrote a program that use this class and everything works.

but then I entered Xercess DOM programming guide and I read this:
"Never "new" a DOM object into the heap or make an ordinary C pointer
variable to one, as this will greatly confuse the automatic memory
management. 
way "newing" a DOM object do that ?
will I get an exception when this happened?
