[opencms-dev] (6b1) Xml Content, The point of "unbounded" elements

[Alexander Kandzior]

Why don't you use some default locale (e.g. "en") and store your otherwise
locale independent content below that node? We do that for the configuration
of the "templateone" for example.

If I understand you correctly, the maxOccurs is set to 'unbounded' because
you can have as many of those nodes as languages.  That makes sense and
definitely has enormous power.  However, I think that XML/Structured content
would be so much more powerful if it were not assumed to have a single
application (local specific content).  Let me explain.

The idea of defining a schema driven interface would be very powerful for
the management of configuration files.  Because configuration files would
only be used internally, it doesn't matter what local it belongs to.  Here
is an example application.  I am writing a custom 404 error page that,
depending on the settings/entries in the configuration file, will redirect
(301 or 302) or forward the user to another resource based upon the
requested resource.  This would be used to preserve page rank during a
site's restructuring (and other purposes).  I think there are so many other
ways that a schema driven interface could be used if it were not limited to
a single application of local-specific data.

With this example in mind, do you see a way that this feature can be added
to the interface without hurting the requirements of local-specific data
management?

Thank you very much for your time and thought,

If you create a sibling of an XML{page|content} file in a different locale

folders language version. You need to attach the "locale" property with the

different locale to  the folder of the sibling.

Why is it that all the examples of xml content schema have 

the maxOccurs attribute of the first child element set to 

"unbounded" when there is no way in the form editor to 

actually create and edit another sibling?



Will the form editor eventually have the ability to easily 

manage multiple child elements?



/xmlcontent/article.xsd

-----------

...

    <xsd:complexType name="OpenCmsArticles">

        <xsd:sequence>

            <xsd:element name="Article" type="OpenCmsArticle" 

minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

        </xsd:sequence>

    </xsd:complexType>

...

-----------



Thanks,
