[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Require servlets 2.4
by Sergiu Dumitriu 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi devs, Since XWIKI-3652, the web.xml is no longer valid servlet-2.3, since the 2.3 spec doesn't allow filters and the request dispatcher to mix. Given that currently 2.5 is the most implemented standard, I'd say that we require from now on a 2.4-compliant container. This will leave out only very old versions of the popular containers (tomcat <=4). Any objections? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[xwiki-devs] Using hibernate in xwiki plugin
by Igor Popov 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hello devs, Sorry for probably unappropriate question, but I'm new here and I'm stuck.. I'm writing my own plugin for xwiki and I need it to use hibernate. By the look of existing plugins (like ActivityStream plugin) it seems that I should somehow use XWiki hibernate configuration (after adding info about my mapping of course). How should I organize my plugin? Is there a way to create new hibernate sessions for my plugin using XWiki SessionFactory?

We're about to release 1.9 final at the end of the day so this is the last chance to fix any blocking issue. Thanks -Vincent

by rupok sayeem 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hello Dev, I am relatively new with xwiki.Is it possible with xwiki that eash wiki will have there individual remote Database.we configure main wiki data base in hibernet.cfg.xml file. when we create a wiki it creates wiki schema within the main database or same database engine.but what i want is when we create a wiki it will create the database for that wiki in another remote database server.not in the same file of main wiki database.and when we load the wiki it will use the remote database not the main wiki database.please let me know if it is possible.it would be greateful if you refer me some links if exists. BR, Sayeem

[xwiki-devs] Dropping support of Plexus (temporarily)?
by Vincent Massol 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi, I'm having 2 problems with Plexus: 1) I tried to upgrade and it's not working. They've dropped the ability to dynamically register a new component instance for an existing role. Jason Van Zyl said he's ok to fix it but he's busy on other stuff and it's been now 2 weeks since he said he'll fix it. Generally speaking there are not many people working on Plexus core so it's not moving much. 2) I tried using events (it was there in alpha-31 but seem to have disappeared in recent versions - I may be wrong. However since there's zero documentation I had to try to find it in the code and couldn't find it) and couldn't. Even in alpha-31 it doesn't work (it works only for components located in components.xml but since we're dynamically registering components it doesn't work for us. Thus I'm more and more tempted to drop support for Plexus and instead use our Embedded component manager for now and start a xwiki-osgi module that would implement our SPI for OSGi. I've read OSGi documentation and it looks not too difficult to do. I have all the code done for sending Component Manager events but it won't work with Plexus so I'm proposing to use our Embedded CM for now. In the meantime I'll try to talk to Jason to see what can be done on the plexus side. WDYT? Note that our Embedded CM hasn't been tested for multithreading so we'll need to verify it works in the 2.0 dev cycle and fix any threading issue. Thanks -Vincent

If it does it means the underlying grammar is buggy and needs to be fixed. I would really like to have these working... -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Do we have any code in our RSS macro that handles exception? If so all we need to have if a unit test with mocks that prove that when there's an error in the RSS access layer (rome?) then we handle it correctly.

[xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Blacklisted/Hidden docs and spaces
by Vincent Massol 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi everyone, Current situation ============= Right now we have 2 mechanisms in place: - hidden docs. These is done deep at the storage level and hidden docs don't appear in any HQL queries. This is - $blacklistedSpaces in xwikivars.vm which is used (or not!, that's the problem) in some wiki pages (AllDocs, Search, Dashboard, etc) Need ==== We have a need for blacklisted/hidden docs and spaces. This is different than rights. This is just for presentation purpose. The need I see is: - guest and simple users should not see blacklisted/hidden docs and spaces - advanced users and admin should see them (Note: I'm not sure we have a need to blacklist docs/spaces for everyone including admins as it's currently done for hidden docs) Issues ===== 1) In lots of spaces we don't exclude blacklisted spaces since at every location you have to add specific code to do the exclude. 2) Hidden docs are a problem since there are cases we want to see them all (like when creating a new wiki and you need to copy a template wiki containing hidden docs) Proposal ======= * I believe we need to remove the filtering at the storage level. That level should return all docs matching the queries * We modify the default XWiki.searchDocument APIs so that they filter on hidden docs and blacklisted spaces (using the velocity $blacklistedSpaces variable). This would be changed later on when we implement the new model and introduce the notion of space. When this happen we'll be able to have hidden metadata to the Space object. * We add a new XWiki.searchDocument API that doesn't do any filtering WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
