[OFBiz] Dev - looping in simple-xml

[David E. Jones]

Yeah, that is an ugly way to do it....

What is it that this is being used for? I mean, what is the code  
inside the loop doing or what is it that the index is being used to  
look up?

This question has come up before, but usually a numeric index loop  
isn't the best solution anyway. If needed a new operation could  
certainly be added...

This code snippet below looks like it is being used to create a  
sequenced ID, though with other code left out I can't tell. The usual  
solution is to use something like make-next-seq-id which does sub- 
sequence ID generation.
