Xerces-C 2.2.0 problem

[tim@se7en.ru]

Hello all,

  I'm new in xerces and have some question.
  I have seen all samples but got no answer.

  i have an xml file with content looks like that:

  <firm id="1">
        <info>
              <title>Microsoft</title>
              <url>http://www.microsoft.com</url>
        </info>
        <pricelist>
              <pos id="1">
                   <title>windows</title>
                   <price>100$</price>
              </pos>
              ...etc...
        </pricelist>
  </firm>
  ...etc...

  i want to print all firms with they id :
  Microsoft = 1
  somefirm2 = id2
  ...etc...

  my solution:

int compareXS(char * str, const XMLCh * xml) {
        char *str1 = XMLString::transcode(xml);
        int i = strcmp(str, str1);
        XMLString::release(&str1);
        return i;
}

DOMNode* getChildByName(DOMNode *node, char *name) {
        DOMNodeList *childs = node->getChildNodes();
        for(unsigned int i=0; i<childs->getLength(); i++) {
                DOMNode *child = childs->item(i);
                if(compareXS(name,child->getNodeName())==0) {
                        return child;
                }
        }
        return NULL;
}

void showFirmList(DOMDocument *doc) {
        DOMNodeList *firms = doc->getElementsByTagName(X("firm"));
        for(unsigned int i=0;i<firms->getLength();i++) {
                DOMNode *firm = firms->item(i);
                DOMNode *info = getChildByName(firm,"info");
                DOMNode *title = getChildByName(info,"title");
                char *firm_title = XMLString::transcode(title->getNodeName());
                DOMNamedNodeMap *m = firm->getAttributes();
                DOMNode *t = m->getNamedItem(X("id"));
                char *firm_id = XMLString::transcode(t->getNodeValue());
                cerr << firm_title << " = " << firm_id << endl;
                XMLString::release(&firm_title);
                XMLString::release(&firm_id);
        }
}

  first of all that code doesn't work properly ( firm_title always point to 0x0 )
  second - using of XMLString is very uncomfortable.
  and ALL THESE CODE IS POOR i think

  what do i do wrong?
  where i can get REAL samples of using xerces-c?
