Detailed Description

Dual-purpose (and two-faced) string: wraps a string (XMLCh* or char*) and lets you access it in either form.

This is a value-added version of the "StrX" class from Xerces-C examples.

NOTE: the constructor COPIES the string it's given, so beware of using loose strings as ctor parameters. One reason to duplicate it to guarantee the const char* string is allocated from the Xerces memory pool and therefore may be freed using Xerces functions.

As a value-add feature, this class could store a std::string instead of a char* and thus provide accessors to return "const std::string&" as well as "const char*". Perhaps in a future version.
