Hey guys,

I'm trying to build a schema with a recursive element inside that call's itself.
What happens is that is just recursive one time and not unlimited as I was expecting.

Can anyone help me ?!

Code: Select all

	<xs:element name="Response" type="Response"/>

	<xs:complexType name="Response">

		<xs:sequence>

			<xs:element name="Asset" type="Recursive" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

		</xs:sequence>

	</xs:complexType>

	<xs:complexType name="Recursive">

		<xs:sequence>

			<xs:element name="Id" type="xs:long" minOccurs="0"/>

			<xs:element name="CreatedBy" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>

			<xs:element name="CreatedOn" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>

			<xs:element name="ModifiedBy" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>

			<xs:element name="ModifiedOn" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>

			<xs:element name="VersionNr" type="xs:long" minOccurs="0"/>

			<xs:element name="AcctId" type="xs:long" minOccurs="0"/>

			<xs:element name="AssetChild" type="Recursive" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>   <------ Unlimited times

		</xs:sequence>

	</xs:complexType>

Means that by click on the list AssetChild it opens another list, so far so good, but then if click on the next AssetChild it is not recursive anymore

, why is just limited to one call?

It's solved

, that way works perfectly.
The thing was that I was viewing the xsd on an editor that has limited capacity for extension.

Thanks anyway.

Joao

Hi,

The schema looks fine to me. If I create an XML instance with recursive AssetChild elements, it validates.
e.g.

Code: Select all

<Response xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="recursive.xsd">

    <Asset>

        <AssetChild>

            <AssetChild>

                <AssetChild></AssetChild>

            </AssetChild>

        </AssetChild>

    </Asset>

</Response>

If you edit the schema in Oxygen, in the Design mode, it will show you a loop icon next to the Recursive type of the AssetChild.

Adrian
