fb:identify doesn't work with repeater of repeaters
---------------------------------------------------

         Key: COCOON-1813
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1813
     Project: Cocoon
        Type: Bug
  Components: Blocks: Forms  
    Versions: 2.1.8    
    Reporter: Eric Meyer


I have a repeater where each row contains a different repeater (concretely a 
repeater of "tabs" where each row contains a repeater of "modules"). I used the 
tasktree example 
(http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/do-taskTree.flow)
 for a sample structure to get me started.

I can see that the fb:identity bindings for both the outer and inner repeaters 
are being loaded successfully. However reordering inner or outer repeater 
elements does not result in any of the collection items being reordered in the 
underlying object model.

If i remove my fb:identity bindings, then new objects are successfully created 
each time the form is saved (and the old ones are discarded). This is not 
ideal, as the objects are persistent (mapped using Hibernate). I have a 
work-around, but it's not pretty.

The use of repeaters inside repeaters is pretty rare, so I think I just 
stumbled into a dusty corner. I'd be happy to collaborate on a fix.

Regards,
Eric
