Hello All,I'm facing a problem of creating a web form relators (or you may call it web forms nesting), what I seek is have a web form of certain type inside my parent web form, so that I would be able to fill both data from inside the parent web form only, for example:I have a "Vendor" web form that

In Alfresco this kind of thing is accomplished via standard XML Schema constructs. For nesting data structures, XML Schema provides the ability to define nested complex types. For example (note: it's not clear to me if this is exactly what you're after, but hopefully it should give you some ideas of what's possible):


<xs:element name="Vendor">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="VendorName" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="Product" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xs:complexType>
          <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="ProductName" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element name="Specification" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
              <xs:complexType>
                <xs:sequence>
                  <xs:element name="Key" type="xs:string"/>
                  <xs:element name="Value" type="xs:string"/>
                </xs:sequence>
              </xs:complexType>
            </xs:element>
          </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
      </xs:element>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Note: for clarity I've used the "Russian Doll" XML Schema design approach, but when designing XML Schemas "for real" I encourage the use of the "Venetian Blind" approach (see http://www.xfront.com/GlobalVersusLocal.html for more details).
