XML File Definition using talend metadata ? What is the use of loop limit attribute?

[ashif2]

Suppose I have a sample of actual XML file and I import the attributes and looping element with the help of Metadata option available in Talend.

When import the sample XML file , it shows the loop limit as 50 like below:

But the actual file can contain any number of loops .  In this case , what value should i specify the loop limit ?

It's hard to find this documented, but I believe the value should be -1. Give it a try and see what happens

Did this resolve your question? If so can you set it to resolved so that others can benefit from this?

Somewhere I read setting the loop limit 0 means there is no restriction on limit , -1 means infinite loop.
