Recurring Element Support [message #653311]

Hi, I have tried working with the following schema:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://example.com/RecurringElements" targetNamespace="http://example.com/RecurringElements">
	<xs:element name="BoatElement" type="Boat"/>
	<xs:complexType name="Boat">
		<xs:sequence>
			<xs:element name="power" type="xs:string" minOccurs="3" maxOccurs="3"/>
			<xs:element name="hulltype" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
			<xs:element name="power" type="xs:string" minOccurs="3" maxOccurs="3"/>
		</xs:sequence>
	</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

It will create the EMF code OK, creating a getPower and getPower1 set of methods as expected. If you use the Java code to populate it works OK, however if you perform a load on the following XML:

<n1:BoatElement xsi:schemaLocation="http://example.com/RecurringElements RecurringElements.xsd" xmlns:n1="http://example.com/RecurringElements" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<power>String1</power>
	<power>String2</power>
	<power>String3</power>
	<hulltype>String4</hulltype>
	<power>String5</power>
	<power>String6</power>
	<power>String7</power>
</n1:BoatElement>

It will load all of the power elements into the first "getPower" and none into the second "getPower1".

Is this a known issue - I'm guessing so, but thought that I would check.

Thanks, Rob

I think I previously mentioned that repeating the same particle more
than once in the content model will cause issues. The handler will
always find the first matching feature and will not take into account
the extent to which that feature is already populated. We'd need more
of a state machine type of approach to handle these kinds of cases (like
the patch in the oldest open bugzilla).
