Recursion problem

  Recursion problem

You show the definition of one function tns:getCustomer but not any of
the others that are called. In particular is ns32:getCustomer the same
function as tns:getCustomer (that is, have you bound the same namespace
to two prefixes?)

> When I call this function it actually makes n calls to the functions
> getCustomer and getAddress, 

tns:getCustomer is defined but not called at all (in the code shown)
for each call of tns:getCustomer  ns32:getCustomer is called once (in
the first let) but as the definition of  ns32:getCustomer isn't shown
it's impossible to comment on what function calls may result from
executing that. 

Similarly ns7:getAddress is only called once, but if its definition is
recursive that call may result in further calls to the function, it's
not possible to say.


Your code seems to be far more verbose than needed which makes it a bit
hard to follow, for example

 for $Person in $resultCustomer/ns28:Person
                return $Person

is the same thing as

$resultCustomer/ns28:Person

and

  for $resultAddress in $AddAddresses
                    where $resultAddress/ns29:addressId =
$searchCustomer/ns30:addressId
                    return
                    $resultAddress

is

$AddAddresses[ns29:addressId = $searchCustomer/ns30:addressId]
