[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Switch to USER for the default visiblity for translations + extend to all component-based pages
by Vincent Massol 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Hi, Right now we have: xclass.addStaticListField(TranslationDocumentModel.TRANSLATIONCLASS_PROP_SCOPE, "Scope", "GLOBAL|WIKI|USER|ON_DEMAND”); However for wiki macros for example we have: xclass.addStaticListField(MACRO_VISIBILITY_PROPERTY, "Macro visibility", 1, false, "Current User|Current Wiki|Global", ListClass.DISPLAYTYPE_SELECT, PROPERTY_PIPE); The rationale is that it’s safe to use USER first to try out and then to extend to Wiki or Global if it’s working fine. So I’d suggest to change the default visibility for wiki translations to USER and more generally to do this for all component-based xobjects. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] BaseObject ID collisions
by Marc Sladek 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Dear XWiki devs We are using the XWiki platform for our applications but sadly are still stuck with 2.7.2. Lately we ran into issues on a large database and noticed "disappearing" BaseObjects. We were able to link it to XWIKI-6990 <http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6990>, where hibernate IDs collided (hash collisions) and overwrote other objects without any trace - neither visible in the history nor in a log file. We analysed your implemented solution from 4.0+ in XWikiDocument <https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/stable-8.4.x/xwiki-platform-co…> and BaseElement <https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/stable-8.4.x/xwiki-platform-co…> and noticed that you changed the 32bit String#hashCode to 64bit MD5, which makes a collision less likely. I have a few questions regarding your solution: 1) Is there any specific reason why you have chosen MD5 over SHA-1 or 2? 2) Collisions are still possible and would be extremely hard to notice since they are completely silent. Have you considered to implement a collision detection to at least log occurring collisions - or even better reserve 1-2bits of the 64bit to be used as collision counter in the case of it happening? 3) To question the concept of generating a hash for an ID in general: Wouldn't a database defined "auto increment" be a much more robust solution for the hibernate IDs? A collision would be impossible and clustering/scalability is still possible with e.g. the InnoDB “interleaved” autoincrement lock mode. Why have you chosen a hash based solution in the first place? I'm sorry if these questions were already answered in the dev mailing list or on issues, please link me to them since I couldn't find any concrete answers. Thanks for your time and regards Marc Sladek synventis gmbh

by Ludovic Dubost 06 Feb '18

Hi, I would like to request the "macro-kanban" repository to publish a macro which allows to make kanban views of AppWithinMinutes data. It also allows to drag and drop items to change the value of a field.
