[xwiki-devs] [proposal] Introduce a pointer class.
by Caleb James DeLisle 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

In order to fix a problem with the cache, I would like to add a pointer type to the storage api. The problem with the cache is there are multiple names which, when asked of the persistent store, return the same document. There is no effective way to know what all names which will return that document. When a document is modified, it is removed from the cache but the only version removed is it's "real" name. All of the other names for it linger in the cache eating up memory and threatening to provide someone stale data. Instead of caching the document, we could cache a pointer to the document and when it became stale, the pointer could be set to null and then any other name under which that document was cached would look up a null pointer and the cache logic could remove it. I would like to add it to xwiki-platform-store-api module and it will look roughly like this: package org.xwiki.store; public final class Pointer<T> { /** The thing which this pointer points to. */ public T target; } WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] How to get multiple values from object property.
by Karel Gardas 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hello, I have a XWiki object of a class where one property is defined as a list. During the page creation of this object (by using appropriate template provider) I'm setting several values from the list of possible values for the property. My problem is that although I've set several values I still get just one value when I look at the object properties in appropriate sheet class. E.g. I do have BookClass which besides other props defines property `kind' where kind might have `fantasy', `drama', or `novel' value. It also might have several values -- well, not good example but I hope this illustrates what I'm doing here. And now when I create new page as a book I set several kinds (for example fantasy & drama) then when I see the page I see only fantasy as the book kind. I'm using XWiki 3.1 snapshot as of May 27 2011. My question is it a known bug, am I doing anything wrong or was it already fixed (in case of bug)? Thanks a lot! Karel

[xwiki-devs] about login and logout using XWiki REST API
by Jun Han 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Dear all, I am on the way of replacing the xmlrpc implementation of RemoteXWikiDataStorage implements IDataStorage {}. One question is about how to implement login and logout functionality via REST API. From REST API document, users can be authenticated via something like: 1. XWiki session 2. HTTP Basic Auth. HTTP basic auth can be implemented via adding HTTP header to the HTTP request, then XEclipse can display Xwiki Resources by parsing the response. Therefore, do we need to implement login and logout methods? Best regards Jun Han

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Adding Ivy JAR to WEB-INF/lib
by Vincent Massol 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi devs, I'd like to propose adding the Ivy JAR to our Platform/XE distributions. The reason is simple: it makes it possible to use the Groovy @Grab directive which makes it real easy to extend XWiki using Groovy script. Several advantages: - not having to manually hunt for transitive dependencies - not needing to stop/restart XWiki (since this is what you need to do if your groovy script needs to use some third party jars). Here's a good usage example: {{cache}} {{groovy}} @Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', module='http-builder', version='0.5.1') import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient github = new RESTClient( 'http://github.com/api/v2/json/' ) println "|=Project|=Description|=Use Wiki?|=Use Issues?" def response = github.get( path : 'repos/show/xwiki' ) response.data.repositories.each() { repo -> println "|[[${repo.name}>>http://github.com/xwiki/${repo.name}]]|${repo.description}|${repo.has_wiki}…" } {{/groovy}} {{/cache}} If you try to do this without the grab directive you'll find yourself hunting down more than 30 jars which you'll need to put in your WEB-INF/lib directory, whereas here it's a single line directive. It's really powerful. Here's my +1 to make it easy for users to use Groovy scripts. Thanks -Vincent

Hi devs, Since 1) we are currently testing only on one browser (FF 3.6 right now) and 2) since FF 6 is now the mainstream version and since 3) we have an issue with latest selenium2 and FF 3.7 (see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2320) I propose to update our agents to use FF 6.0.
