Hello,
I am using xerces-c version 2.7.0 on Win XP Pro x64 Edition, Version
2003, SP1 running on an Intel Pentium D process with 8GB of RAM.
I am running into a problem while writing a DOM node onto a file to a
Windows shared network drive running Samba. The same works fine on
the Windows XP 32-bit machine and the actual file size turns out to
be around 80+ MB. Also, the same works fine on Win x64 when writing
to the disk on the local hard drive.
On Win x64, though DOMWriter::writeNode () fails and throws an
exception. Also, Windows Process Monitor reports the following error:
Sequence: 4113
Date & Time: 2/22/2008 2:13:48 PM
Event Class: File System
Operation: WriteFile
Result: INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES
Path: \\<shared-drive>\1203706523-project1-scenario1.11.rpt.xml
TID: 2996
Duration: 0.0002280
Offset: 33,857,680
Length: 33,859,063
Its as though the Win x64 filesystem driver cannot write a buffer of
size greater than 32MB onto a network filesystem. I have gone through
the xerces-c mailing lists and the bug reporting system (jira) but
could not find any reports similar to this problem in the context of
xerces-c. I have found some articles by googling which seem to be
related to this but do not clearly indicate what exactly the problem
is and how to workaround it. Here are the links I came across:
- This one says it may have something to do with MDLfield size on x64
(dont know what it means and how to get around it):
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/Development/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel/2005-11/msg00097.html
- This one suggests changing a registry setting. I tried it but it
didnt help:

At this point I am pretty much stuck. Have any of you guys seen
problems of this kind on Win x64? Is this indeed a bug/problem with
the Win x64 driver? If so, can xerces-c work around it or can I use
xerces-c differently to work around it? [Note: I am using
LocalFileFormatTarget to write the DOM node]
I had really appreciate any help or suggestions on this. Thanks so much.
