[opencms-dev] schema recursion ....

[Ruben Malchow]

hi,

i was wondering why it is that i get a stackoverflowerror when i try to 
do this:

	<xsd:element name="NestedTrees" type="OpenCmsNestedTrees"/>
	
	<xsd:complexType name="OpenCmsNestedTrees">
		<xsd:sequence>
			<xsd:element
				name="NestedTree"
				type="OpenCmsNestedTree"
				minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
		</xsd:sequence>
	</xsd:complexType>

	<xsd:complexType name="OpenCmsNestedTree">
		<xsd:sequence>
			<xsd:element
			name="name"
				type="OpenCmsString"  			
				minOccurs="1"
				maxOccurs="1" />
			<xsd:element
				name="nested"
				type="OpenCmsNestedTree"
				minOccurs="0"
				maxOccurs="unbounded" />
		</xsd:sequence>
		<xsd:attribute
			name="language"
			type="OpenCmsLocale"
			use="optional"/>
	</xsd:complexType>


to me, it seems unnecessary to actually dive into that nested element, 
because we should know it at that point. and the _actual_ depth of the 
nesting could then be determined by just how many things you actually 
put in the content?

maybe there is a fundamental flaw in my thinking, though.

:/
