XSD - recursion problem

[kwantm]

Hi,

I am building a dynamic menu component. I am using webforms to maintain the menu. I have seen the examples in various war files and on the forum here.

What I see there is a limited depth XSD file representing a menu. This is not what I want to do. What I want is a unlimited menu depth.

I have coded my XSd as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"         targetNamespace="http://www.wowww.nl/navigation"         xmlns:nav="http://www.wowww.nl/navigation"         elementFormDefault="qualified">           <xs:complexType name="link">       <xs:sequence>         <xs:element name="path" type="xs:anyURI" />       </xs:sequence>   </xs:complexType>   <xs:complexType name="menuItem">      <xs:sequence>         <xs:element name="name" type="xs:normalizedString" />         <xs:element name="description" type="xs:normalizedString"/>         <xs:element name="sub_channel" type="nav:menuItem" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>         <xs:element name="content_link" type="nav:link" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>      </xs:sequence>      </xs:complexType>           <xs:element name="navigation">      <xs:complexType>         <xs:sequence>            <xs:element name="name" type="xs:normalizedString" />            <xs:element name="description" type="xs:normalizedString"/>            <xs:element name="main_channel" type="nav:menuItem" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>            <xs:element name="content_link" type="nav:link" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>         </xs:sequence>      </xs:complexType>   </xs:element></xs:schema>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The syntax is correct and I can use this outside Alfresco. But when I use this in Alfresco and try to create content based upon this XSD (In the create webcontent wizard insite a webproject), I get a
java.lang.StackOverflowError. I have seen in the log that Alfresco tries to pre-create all elements.

Have I stumbled on a bug or must I code my XSD differently to support my idear of a unlimited menu structure?

you've unfortunately stumbled on a hairy bug: http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/WCM-435

Hi,

Thanks for the information. For now I have limited my menu depth and this works fine.

Kind regards,

Was there a resolution to the recursion problem?

I could not locate WCM-435.  What is the current status of this ticket?

Is there a workaround available for version 3.1.1?

Thanks.
