CTE and FOR XML to generate nested XML

Question

I have an adjacency list in the DB and want to deliver the data in XML format to the client through a SQL SP. I'm trying to use CTE and FOR XML but I am not getting the XML nodes to nest.

FYI, this will represent a site map.

The Table structure:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PageHierarchy](
    [ModuleId] [int] NOT NULL,
    [PageId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [ParentPageId] [int] NULL,
    [PageUrl] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
    [PageTitle] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [PageOrder] [int] NULL)

and the beginnings of the CTE:

;WITH cte AS
(
    select * from PageHierarchy where ParentPageId is null
    union all
    select child.* from PageHierarchy child inner join cte parent on parent.PageId = child.ParentPageId
)
SELECT ModuleId, PageId, ParentPageId, PageUrl, PageTitle, PageOrder FROM cte
group by ModuleId, PageId, ParentPageId, PageUrl, PageTitle, PageOrder
order by PageOrder
for xml auto, root ('bob')

yields XML that looks like this:

<bob>
  <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="1" PageUrl="~/Admin/" PageTitle="Administration" PageOrder="1000" />
  <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="4" ParentPageId="1" PageTitle="Manage Users" PageOrder="1030" />
  <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="5" ParentPageId="4" PageUrl="~/Admin/AddUser" PageTitle="Add Users" PageOrder="1040" />
  <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="8" ParentPageId="4" PageUrl="~/Admin/EditUser" PageTitle="Edit/Search User" PageOrder="1070" />
</bob>

when what I want is XML that looks like this:

<bob>
  <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="1" PageUrl="~/Admin/" PageTitle="Administration" PageOrder="1000" />
  <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="4" ParentPageId="1" PageTitle="Manage Users" PageOrder="1030" >
    <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="5" ParentPageId="4" PageUrl="~/Admin/AddUser" PageTitle="Add Users" PageOrder="1040" />
    <cte ModuleId="1" PageId="8" ParentPageId="4" PageUrl="~/Admin/EditUser" PageTitle="Edit/Search User" PageOrder="1070" />
  </cte>
</bob>

I'm guessing the issue is not with the CTE but with the select, but I don't know where to start to fix it. Also, I don't know how deep the nesting will go, so I'm assuming I'll need it to support at least 10 levels deep.

Edit 1:
I think I'm getting closer... in looking at this page, I created a UDF but still there are some issues:

CREATE FUNCTION PageHierarchyNode(@PageId int)
RETURNS XML
WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT 
BEGIN RETURN 
  (SELECT ModuleId AS "@ModuleId", PageId AS "@PageId",
    ParentPageId AS "@ParentPageId", PageUrl AS "@PageUrl",
    PageTitle AS "@PageTitle", PageOrder AS "@PageOrder", 
      CASE WHEN ParentPageId=@PageId
      THEN dbo.PageHierarchyNode(PageId)
      END
   FROM dbo.PageHierarchy WHERE ParentPageId=@PageId
   FOR XML PATH('Page'), TYPE)
END

and the SQL that calls the UDF

SELECT ModuleId AS "@ModuleId", PageId AS "@PageId",
    ParentPageId AS "@ParentPageId", PageUrl AS "@PageUrl",
    PageTitle AS "@PageTitle", PageOrder AS "@PageOrder", 
    dbo.PageHierarchyNode(PageId)
FROM PageHierarchy
FOR XML PATH('Page'), ROOT('SiteMap'), TYPE

this will nest the XML for me but it's duplicating nodes which is not what I want..

Answer 1

Turns out I didn't want the CTE at all, just a UDF that I call recursively

CREATE FUNCTION PageHierarchyNode(@PageId int)
RETURNS XML
WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT 
BEGIN RETURN 
  (SELECT ModuleId AS "@ModuleId", PageId AS "@PageId",
    ParentPageId AS "@ParentPageId", PageUrl AS "@PageUrl",
    PageTitle AS "@PageTitle", PageOrder AS "@PageOrder", 
      CASE WHEN ParentPageId=@PageId
      THEN dbo.PageHierarchyNode(PageId)
      END
   FROM dbo.PageHierarchy WHERE ParentPageId=@PageId
   FOR XML PATH('Page'), TYPE)
END

with the SQL that calls the UDF as

SELECT ModuleId AS "@ModuleId", PageId AS "@PageId",
    ParentPageId AS "@ParentPageId", PageUrl AS "@PageUrl",
    PageTitle AS "@PageTitle", PageOrder AS "@PageOrder", 
    dbo.PageHierarchyNode(PageId)
FROM PageHierarchy
WHERE ParentPageId IS NULL
FOR XML PATH('Page'), ROOT('SiteMap'), TYPE
