Recursive XForm

Hi

I am relatively new to XForms and Orbeon, so forgive my ignorance 8). The
problem that I'm having is implementing a very complicated Metadata Schema
called ANZLIC. It has recursive XML entities, and I cannot think of a way to
program this type of xform. Can Orbeon support recursive entities? I was under
the impression that XForms was unable to do that at this stage.
What I mean by recursive is for example: A person can have a child, who is also
a person, who can also have a child etc...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Martin

Martin,

You cannot recurse indefinitely.

You could "hardcode" a number of nested elements like xforms:repeat or  
xforms:group, if you know that practically there will be a limit to  
the nesting.

I think you should also be able to simulate that kind of nesting. By  
that I mean that you wouldn't actually infinitely nest repeats or  
groups, but have only one level, and somehow present that to the user  
as if there was a way of nesting elements indefinitely, for example  
with indentation, etc. I am being vague here but I don't have the time  
right now to elaborate.
