xerces c issue with creating an object from a just serialized object - c++

Question

I'm having an issue where I serialize an object to a string and then create it again from the same string. When I try and create the same object from the string and check the values, the functions aren't returning correctly. It returns the whole XML object as a string.
I looked at the resulting xml and it looks correct. So I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Thanks for any insight into this issue.
An example is below.
#include "XMLHelper.hxx"
void serializeObject(XmlHelper::Object& mess, std::string& result);
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
XmlHelper::objectType oType(XmlHelper::objectType::Status);
XmlHelper::Object obj(oType);
unsigned long time(134000000);
XmlHelper::Status status(time);
obj.status().set(status);
std::string result;
serializeObject(obj, result);
if (obj.status().present() )
{
std::cout<<"Message is Status"<<std::endl;
}
if (obj.objectType() == "Status" )
{
std::cout<<"Message is Status"<<std::endl;
}
if (obj.objectType() == XmlHelper::objectType::Status )
{
std::cout<<"Message is Status"<<std::endl;
}
XmlHelper::Object otherObj(result);
if (otherObj.status().present() )
{
std::cout<<"Message is Status"<<std::endl;
}
else if (otherObj.objectType() == "ThingA")
{
std::cout<<"Message is ThingA"<<std::endl;
}
else if (otherObj.objectType() == "ThingB")
{
std::cout<<"Message is ThingB"<<std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
void serializeObject(XmlHelper::Object& mess, std::string& result)
{
std::ostringstream buff;
xml_schema::namespace_infomap nsm;
nsm[""].schema = "XMLHelper.xsd";
Object_(buff, mess, nsm, "UTF-8", xml_schema::flags::no_xml_declaration);
result=buff.str();
}

Come to find out I was doing the building of the object which parses the XML completely wrong. What seems to be the correct way is the below.
std::istringstream iss (result);
std::auto_ptr<XmlHelper::Object> otherObj(XmlHelper::Object_(iss));
I also didn't have my xsd file in the correct directory.
Hopefully, this helps someone else.
