get all fields from DynamicForm - xsd

Question

I use DataSource generated from xsd schema. I need to get all fields from DataSource, also nested ones. My problem is the same like in this topic from Smartclient forum forum, when I use DataSource.getFields() its return only first level fields.
Does anyone know how can I get also nested fields?

I m not exactly sure if this will solve your issue. CompanySlaves is not references in any where in xsd. Type is defined but not used.
I think you need to have <xsd:element name="SomeElementName" type="tns:CompanySlaves"></xsd:element> in your xsd definition
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/newXmlSchema"
xmlns:tns="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/newXmlSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="SubrogationClaim" type="tns:SubrogationClame"></xsd:element>
<xsd:complexType name="SubrogationClame">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="CompanyName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="CompanyPlace" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="CompanyEmploee" type="tns:SubrogationClame"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="CompanySlaves">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="EmploeeName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="EmploeeSalary" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:ComplexType>
</xsd:schema>

I found solution. To get nested fields it’s possible to use DataSource.getDataSource(ID). For example, if dataSource is main DataSource, it can be done like that:
private List<DataSourceField> getAllFields(DataSource dataSource)
{
List <DataSourceField> fieldList = new ArrayList<DataSourceField>();
DataSourceField [] fields = dataSource.getFields();
fieldList.addAll(Arrays.asList(fields));
for (DataSourceField field : fields);
{
String fieldName = field.getName();
DataSource ds = DataSource.getDataSource(fieldName);
if (ds != null)
{
fieldList.remove(field);
DataSourceField[] nFields = ds.getFields();
fieldList.addAll(Arrays.asList(nFields));
getAllFields(ds);
}
}
return fieldList;
}
