[OFBiz] Dev - looping in simple-xml

[Chris Chesney]

David,

Yep, it's being used for sub-sequence ID generation.  I need to maintain
a numbered, sequential list of items in a child table -- I didn't know
you could do that with make-next-seq-id.  Any chance you know of an
example off the top of your head?
