[xwiki-devs] Porting xwiki-webdav to xwiki-core 1.7-SNAPSHOT
by Asiri Rathnayake 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi, Currently xwiki-webdav is using xwiki-core 1.6-SNAPSHOT and it's working fine. But when it's changed to 1.7-SNAPSHOT (${pom.version}) I get the following exception : <dump> Caused by: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Failed to load component [org.xwiki.cache.CacheManager] for hint [default] at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getMainXWiki(XWiki.java:326) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getXWiki(XWiki.java:387) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.utils.XWikiDavResourceFactory.initXWikiContext(XWikiDavResourceFactory.java:169) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.utils.XWikiDavResourceFactory.createResource(XWikiDavResourceFactory.java:113) </dump> The exception is thrown when the XWikiContext is being initialized. The code looks like bellow : <code> private void initXWikiContext(DavServletRequest drequest, DavServletResponse dresponse, ServletContext servletContext) throws XWikiException { XWikiEngineContext xwikiEngine = new XWikiServletContext(servletContext); XWikiRequest xwikiRequest = new XWikiServletRequest(drequest); XWikiResponse xwikiResponse = new XWikiXmlRpcResponse(dresponse); xwikiContext = Utils.prepareContext("", xwikiRequest, xwikiResponse, xwikiEngine); xwikiContext.setMode(XWikiContext.MODE_GWT); xwikiContext.setDatabase("xwiki"); ServletContainerInitializer containerInitializer = (ServletContainerInitializer) Utils.getComponent(ServletContainerInitializer.ROLE); try { containerInitializer.initializeRequest(xwikiContext.getRequest() .getHttpServletRequest(), xwikiContext); containerInitializer.initializeResponse(xwikiContext.getResponse() .getHttpServletResponse()); containerInitializer.initializeSession(xwikiContext.getRequest() .getHttpServletRequest()); containerInitializer.initializeApplicationContext(servletContext); } catch (ServletContainerException e) { throw new XWikiException(XWikiException.MODULE_XWIKI_PLUGINS, XWikiException.ERROR_XWIKI_INIT_FAILED, "Failed to initialize Request/Response or Session", e); } *XWiki xwiki = XWiki.getXWiki(xwikiContext);* // (This is where the exception get's thrown) </code> Can someone please help me with how to properly initialize the XWikiContext with 1.7-SNAPSHOT core ? Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XE 1.7 Roadmap
by Vincent Massol 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Hi there, Today is XE 1.6 release date so let's start planning for XE 1.7. Here are the dates (to reach a release for Javapolis 2008): - 1.7M1: 20th of October (that's more than 3 weeks after the 1.6 release) - 1.7M2: 10th of November (3 weeks after 1.7M1) - 1.7RC1: 17 Nov (one week after) - 1.7RC2 or final: 24 Nov (one week after) - 1.7 final (if needed): 1st of December Thus it's a short release (2 months). Proposed content: * Working and usable (i.e. users can use them for their day to day work instead of the old Syntax and old WYSIWYG editor) versions of new rendering and new WYSIWYG editor. (Vincent, Thomas, Marius) * Working JCR (can be used for day to day work instead of Hibernate). (Artem) * French XE (Jean-Vincent) * Blog revamping (Sergiu) * Webdav integration (Asiri) And bug fixes of course. Anything else planned? (I think we should be careful not to over commit). I'd like to have Office import too (Wang Ning) but I don't know how much time he'll get. Thanks -Vincent Note: I've updated http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Roadmap

Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] LDAP Authentiction -- Errors on LDAP Server for not doing a clean Bind and UnBind.

Does anyone have any inputs on the issue below? Thanks. Sharan. sharanabasavaraj.x.mudgal(a)jpmchase.com Sent by: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org 10/16/2008 05:38 PM Please respond to XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> To "XWiki Users" <users(a)xwiki.org> cc Subject [xwiki-users] LDAP Authentiction -- Errors on LDAP Server for not doing a clean Bind and UnBind. Hi! Thomas, There are errors we see on the ldap server on authenicating users with LDAP for XWiki. It is critical to fix this issue for us to be able to use xwiki. This is what seems to be happening. Normally when you do a 'DoBind' with a LDAP directory it establishes the connection after successful authentication. Once you establish the connection you may ask for information within the LDAP directory or simple logout with a 'DoUnbind'. Since you did not ask for any more information or issue a DoUnbind the LDAP directory tried to extend your session, which was eventually dropped. Also below is an example of a Bind with simple authentication and then an UnBind. we would like to see a 'DoUnbind' following a 'Dobind' when authenticating to the LDAP directory. Could you please advise. 10:48:27 B0EB7BB0 LDAP: New cleartext connection 0x8352b08 from x.x.x.x, monitor = 0x7ac4dbb0, index = 6 10:48:27 B32C0BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0044:0x60) DoBind on connection 0x8352b08 10:48:27 B32C0BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0044:0x60) Bind name:cn=abc,ou=xyz, version:3, authentication:simple 10:48:27 B32C0BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0044:0x60) Sending operation result 0:"":"" to connection 0x8352b08 10:48:27 B32C0BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0044:0x60) Operation 0x44:0x60 on connection 0x8352b08 completed in 0 seconds 10:48:27 7FBC5BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0045:0x77) DoExtended on connection 0x8352b08 10:48:27 7FBC5BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0045:0x77) DoExtended: Extension Request OID: 0.0.0.0 10:48:27 7FBC5BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0045:0x77) Unable to find extension handler 0.0.0.0 in extension list 10:48:27 7FBC5BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0045:0x77) Sending operation result 2:"":"Unrecognized extended operation" to connection 0x8352b08 10:48:27 7FBC5BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0045:0x77) Operation 0x45:0x77 on connection 0x8352b08 completed in 0 seconds Trace Example 'Successful Bind and UnBind' 14:06:54 B0AB6BB0 LDAP: New TLS connection 0x838b948 from x.x.x.x, monitor = 0x969a4bb0, index = 6 14:06:54 969A4BB0 LDAP: Monitor 0x969a4bb0 initiating TLS handshake on connection 0x838b948 14:06:54 89F1EBB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0000:0x00) DoTLSHandshake on connection 0x838b948 14:06:54 89F1EBB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0x0000:0x00) Completed TLS handshake on connection 0x838b948 14:06:54 4C1FFBB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0xca72:0x60) DoBind on connection 0x838b948 14:06:54 4C1FFBB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0xca72:0x60) Bind name:cn=abc,ou=xyz,, version:3, authentication:simple 14:06:54 4C1FFBB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0xca72:0x60) Sending operation result 0:"":"" to connection 0x838b948 14:06:54 4C1FFBB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0xca72:0x60) Operation 0xca72:0x60 on connection 0x838b948 completed in 0 seconds 14:06:54 8CB10BB0 LDAP: (x.x.x.x)(0xca73:0x42) DoUnbind on connection 0x838b948 14:06:54 8CB10BB0 LDAP: Connection 0x838b948 closed Thanks.

[xwiki-devs] Building XWiki from sources
by Firvin 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

I tried to build xwiki from sources. Since the build system is powered by maven it shouldn't be a problem ;-) I've added all xwiki repositories and the google web toolkit repositories as described in http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building. But I cannot get the maven-googlewebtoolkit2-plugin artifact. The build stops with the following error message: Reason: POM 'com.totsp.gwt:maven-googlewebtoolkit2-plugin' not found in repository: Unable to download the artifact from any repository com.totsp.gwt:maven-googlewebtoolkit2-plugin:pom:1.5.3 If you point your webbrowser to the google maven repository at http://gwt-maven.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mavenrepo/ there is only the new 2.0 version inside the maven-2 repository structure. The old 1.5.3 version is only accessible in the maven-1 repository structure. Well, to cut a long story short the question is: How can I resolve this specific artifact?

[xwiki-devs] Where to host new version of FoXWiki ?
by Asiri Rathnayake 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Hi Devs, As you might know, to complete the integration of xwiki-webdav component in the XWiki-UI (that is to allow users to edit attachments via webdav), we needed some support from FoXWiki (on FireFox). Now comes the problem of where to host FoXWiki. NOTE : We need a download link to FoXWiki that we can embed inside one of our js files that will trigger an automatic installation. So, we must host FoXWiki somewhere before providing webdav functionalities in xwiki UI. So, we have two options : 1. Host FoXWiki in addons.mozilla.org :- With this option, we don't need to worry about automatic updates (it is automatically handled) and there is a nice web interface that allows us to manage various versions. But the downside is, each version need to spend some time on the sandbox (of addons.mozilla.org) before it becomes public - some users need review and rate it. Ex : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2358 2. In xwiki.org :- With this option we have to handle everything manually and we need to provide an update url (which has to be an https url) which will contain information about updates. The good side of this is that there is no waiting with this approach. Any ideas about which approach to be taken ? Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] Problem with context initialization in the XMLRPC subsystem
by Fabio Mancinelli 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Dear all, I am taking advantage of the weekend in order to work on XEclipse's release. However I've just found a problem on the server side. While doing some tests using all XWiki versions, when I try to connect to XWiki 1.6 I get this exception: http://pastebin.com/m49b769bd Other XWiki versions work fine. Tests seems to be fine on hudson so I don't know why I am getting this exception when testing against the packaged hsqldb.zip version. Any clue? -Fabio

[xwiki-devs] JSX extension: proposition for passing custom parameters to JS code with velocity parsing
by Pascal Voitot 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

hello, I finally found the way of using JSX with Velocity variables :) I was defining the custom Velocity variables in the doc containing the JSX object and it doesn't work. These variables must be defined inside the JSX object code because the Velocity context is specific to this code interpretation. But in my case, I really need to use $xwiki.jsx.use() with some custom parameters since my javascript requires this customization to work. Basic velocity context with $xwiki, $doc etc... is too blank to help me. I think being able to pass some custom parameters to JSX could be really practical in many cases (as explained in the http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SkinExtensions) Don't see very big security issues but you may find some :) I propose to manage this using simple HTTP parameters while calling jsx.use() in order to provision the $request velocity variable with custom parameters. For example: $xwiki.jsx.use("myJSXdoc?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3") Then in myJSXdoc, you create a JSX object with code looking like: #set($param1 = $request.get("param1")) #set($param2 = $request.get("param2")) #set($param3 = $request.get("param3")) doit() { dosomething("${param1}"); dosomething2("${param2}"); dosomething3("${param3}"); } The code patch is really simple. Just a modification of: public String getLink(String documentName, XWikiContext context) in skinx.jsSkinExtensionPlugin in order to create a link such as: <script src=" /xwiki/bin/jsx/myspace/myJSXdoc?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3" type="text/javascript"> regards Pascal
