[xwiki-devs] Postponing creation of 1.6 branch till Thursday?
by Vincent Massol 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi devs, Since we're in a rush for the final 1.6 release I'm proposing to postpone creating the 1.6 branch to this Thursday. This means that trunks stays 1.6 final and thus only bug fixes should be done. Thus this means postponing any 1.7 change to after Thursday. Is that ok with everyone? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Postponing 1.6RC1 release (again) and going direct to 1.6 final on Thursday the 2nd
by Vincent Massol 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi devs, You know we've been facing some problems in the new GWT editor. Marius needs 2 days more to finish fixing the 2 important bugs related to: - paragraph support - bolding/unbolding (same for italic and underline I guess) We also need 1 day to all test the new GWT WYSIWYG and try to find more issues. Note that since we've had to do low level JS, it's currently only working for FF... So the editor won't work on IE or any other browser to 1.6 final. It may work but it won't work perfectly well yet. In addition and to reduce the 1.6 final release date (compared to the original plan of 22nd of September), I propose that we release the final 1.6 on this Thursday (the 2nd). To do this I propose that we ALL spend time testing the current 1.6 trunk code to verify that all works fine. This is a bet we're taking but I think we could easily win 1 or 2 weeks by doing it. In addition and should we need it we can quickly release a 1.6.1 release. Here's my +1 for this plan + for helping test it. Thanks -Vincent

02 Oct '08

Hi devs, while developing my XWiki watch component, I've written a quick start tutorial on XWiki components, which I would like to add in the dedicated section on platform.xwiki.org. It is currently in draft version at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/CreatingComponents . Please give it a critical look and signal any errors that might have slipped or send improvement suggestions. Here's my +1 for taking it out of draft version, WDYT? Happy coding, Anca Luca

[xwiki-devs] PROPFIND on /xwiki/ fails.
by Asiri Rathnayake 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi Devs, Ludovic, I'm faced with the following problem, Currently xwiki-webdav is deployed under /xwiki/webdav/*. And for this to work, we need PROPFIND method to work correctly on following locations { "/" , "/xwiki/" , "/xwiki/webdav/*". } For "/" i have written a separate xwiki-rootwebapp and it works fine. For "/xwiki/" and "/xwiki/webdav/*" I had defined the following servlet mapping elemnts : <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>xwiki-webdav</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>xwiki-webdav</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/webdav/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Everything was working fine but lately i discovered that none of the static content is being served correctly. This is because of the first mapping on "/", this seems to overrride the default servet of the container (which serves static files). Without the first mapping some webdav clients fail because they think the url is not a webdav one. I'm really stuck here and can't think of a solution, if you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks a lot. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] Office converter cleaning status?
by Vincent Massol 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi Wang, Long time no hear, you must be busy :) Could you let us know what's the status WRT to cleaning up the office- generated HTML? The roadmap I'd like to have is to have it fully working for 1.7 final (that's for the 1st of December). Do you think that's feasible? My take is that we should have some pretty solid cleaning up by 1.7M1 if we want to have a chance of it being finished for 1.7 final. Here's the currently planned 1.7 dates: - 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 WDYT? Do you need any help to achieve this? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Potential synchronization issues
by Vincent Massol 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi, I think we might need to review our singleton components (i.e. all of them ;)) for sync. issues. For example take DefaultObservationManager: private Map<String, List<RegisteredListener>> listeners = new HashMap<String, List<RegisteredListener>>(); It has for ex a addListener() method. Imagine several threads all calling addListener(). Since HashMap is not synchronized this can cause problems. Thus shared objects should all be synchronized or they should only be filled once (as in an initialize method for ex). WDYT? Do you agree there's a potential bug in the case above? Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-notifications] r13101 - platform/web/trunk/standard/src/main/webapp/templates
by Vincent Massol 01 Oct '08

Is this temporary? I'm not sure it's a good idea to generate HTML from business code. The HTML should be generated in the templates IMO. WDYT?
