xforms:repeat inside an action

All,

I'm trying to set some values on a button click by using xforms:repeat
inside of an action .... like below ...

<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-value-changed">
    <xforms:repeat
nodeset="instance('contract')/deals/deal/extendedData/costs/subsequentYearCosts/cost">
        <xforms:setvalue if="string-length(./amount) = 0 or (./amount eq
'')" ref="./amount" value="xs:decimal(0)"/>
    </xforms:repeat>
</xforms:action>

I seem to be getting errors .... org.orbeon.oxf.common.OXFException:
Invalid action name: {http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms}repeat ... are
repeats allowed to live inside an action??

Steve

Apparently no, <repeat> is not a valid <action>

http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/#action

but perhaps you can accomplish the same thing
with <setvalue> and/or <recalculate>

Also see Iteration of XForms Actions

http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/#action-iterated

which may be supported in the most recent
builds, or you could sponsor the feature.

Steve,

Like Hank just mentioned, you cannot use <xforms:repeat> in actions.
It looks like what you have a here is a nice case where you can use
the "while" attribute on <xforms:action>. See the stand-alone example
while.xhtml (from the XForms sandbox, go to the last tab and select
while.xhtml in the drop-down).
