Hi GSOCers, Just a kind reminder that this is currently the bonding period (till 26th of May) and we'd like you to follow the guidelines we've set at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ as much as possible. I haven't seen much activity from you on the list in general. It's possible you're talking directly to your mentors in which case I'd like to ask you to communicate through the mailing list instead. One main goal of the GSOC is that you integrate an open source project's community. Also have you been able to pick some jira issue and work on them? If you have any problem doing that please let us know how we can help you. If you have already sent a patch in a jira issue and it's not been reviewed and applied yet please let us know by answering this email too. Thanks again -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Adding a dblist property

by antoine

Hi We'd like to create a class with a domain property in wich we would like to store a list of domains. It looks like tags principle. So we want to have a list of domains to let users choose wich domains to attach to each instance. But we want this list to evolve and we had like to select these domains from another DB table. Indeed, we have try to add a dblist property to our class. But when we try to create a new object the select list for domains is empty. So our request doesn't work. Our db table domains is simple, only a field "name". Our request is : select name from domains; Could we please have an example of how to create a class with a dblist property? Thank for your time Antoine

[xwiki-devs] ClassSheet question

by Archana Mettu

Hello developers, 1. Is it possible to create two separate classsheets to render the objects of the same class? One with a 'View only' presentation and the other with an 'Edit & View' presentation? The default classSheets have a 'view only'. How can I invoke the 'edit' previleges and do an 'Update' to object data in the database? 2. How do I go about calling these different classsheets from the same template? Will I need two classtemplates? 3. Is it possible to send an Object handler, document name or object id from one page to another? The HTML Post does'nt seem to do what I want. Regards, Archana Mettu.

[xwiki-devs] Easy way to work on the stable 1.4 branch

by Ludovic Dubost

Hello, Is there an easy way to work on the stable 1.4 branch. I would like to work on some improvements to the form validation system but I don't want the hassle of the changes that will come up in 1.5 until I have a nice patch ready. What are the 1.4 branches neede do get platform-web running and is there a way to all get them at once. I've seen: - xwiki-core-1.4 - xwiki-web-1.4 - xwiki-toucan-1.2 (is that a 1.4 branch ?) - xwiki-albatross-1.4 Are there any plugin branches ?

[xwiki-devs] Why should I care about OSGi article

by Vincent Massol

nice article: http://blog.springsource.com/main/2008/05/15/why-should-i-care-about-osgi-a… I think we already support most points through: * Our conventions of using the internal package for non user public code. BTW we can (and we should) enforce this at build time and fail the build if someone is using the internal package using the maven enforcer plugin. * The fact that we're using maven and components creates clean boundaries between modules and allows different teams to focus their work on some subpart of the system. * Dependency mgmt: done with Maven Nice things we don't currently have: * "Faster testing cycles". We already have a way to do with Eclipse but this is a part that could be improved. * "isolate changes". This can be done with Plexus (+ classworld) later on but we're not using this feature yet. This could also be done with XBean I believe. In summary I don't think we're too bad compared to the list of advantages listed in the article. We're working on improving that but we're already on good tracks. The single most important thing we have to do is modularize the core into components and well-delimited build modules. -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Adding Space information to the context - follow up

by Kamna Jain

Hi, So, I tried the querystring option. Didn't quite work. We have a form that we ask the user to fill on page 1 and this form represents only a PART of an object that gets created for this particular form. So, say for eg., we have a name field in the form and this gets copied on to the underlying obect when we click a button. Now, currently when we cllick the button on this page, we have a script that is run and what that does is - Creates a new object, creates a new document with the name entered by the user in the form, adds the new object to this document and copies all form fields to the Object properties. Finally the script redirects the user to the newly created page which displays the object with the help of the class sheet. (the following is the last line of the script which does the redirect) $response.sendRedirect($newdoc.getURL("save", "template=${etemplate}&parent=${eparent}&title=$etitle")) Now, our use case has changed a little bit, in the sense that, the user will need to enter form field values (object values in xwiki) on a sequence of pages, i.e, everything does not get added to the object the first time a button is clilcked. In this case, to be able to copy the values from the Page 2 to the same object as was created in Page 1, we need some way to access the same object. This could be done using the object name and as seen in the response.sendRedirect line above, we pass the title (which is the name entered by the user) to the next page (newdoc page in this case). But, when I try to access this on that newdoc, I do not get a value I am expecting. So, what am I doing wrong when I try this scritp on the newdoc: #set($title = $request.getParameter("title")) The title : $title This returns: The title : XWiki - $doc.web - $doc.name #set($template = $request.getParameter("template")) The template : $template This returns: The title : $template Please point out whats wrong in this usage and if it is valid in the first place! Also, what alternative could we use. I mean how to access the application context in the velocity scripts? Thanks much for all help.

[xwiki-devs] XBeans

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Just a quick note to let you know of XBeans: http://geronimo.apache.org/xbean/index.html I haven't researched it but I know it plays well with Plexus. At some point we'll probably need to decide if we want to go the OSGi route or use Plexus + XBeans, or use the Plexus OSGi bridge, or... Anyway our work is still to transform our monolithic code base into components for now and that's what we should be focusing on. We can delay the choice of the IOC tool/component manager to later for now. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Questions on the new XMLRPC implementation tests

by Vincent Massol

Hi Fabio, I was looking at the new XMLRPC tests and I think there are some unfinished stuff we need to clean up/align. Right now there are 2 series of tests: ones in com.xpn package and one in org.xwiki package: addTestCase(suite, AnonymousAccessTest.class); addTestCase(suite, AttachmentsTest.class); addTestCase(suite, CommentsTest.class); addTestCase(suite, PagesTest.class); addTestCase(suite, SpacesTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.AttachmentsTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.AuthenticationTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.CommentsTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.PagesTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.SpacesTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.XWikiClassesTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.XWikiObjectsTest.class); addTestCase(suite, org.xwiki.xmlrpc.SearchTest.class); We need to merge them (not sure why there are 2 locations). The correct package is probably com.xpn since the org.xwiki one is reserved for new components. Also I've noticed that lots of your new tests are using System.out calls. I don't think we should do that. The tests shouldn't print anything at all. They should do asserts wherever required but they should not require any visual verification to verify that they have passed or not IMO. Also this is the strategy we've followed so far. WDYT? Do you think you could have a look at those points? Thanks a lot -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Adding space information to the context.

by Kamna Jain

Hello Devs, Is it possible to use $context.put in the following way: $context.put("space","Main") where space is the key and Main is the value of Space and then retrieve it using $context.get("space") on any page in xwiki! I tried using it but did not work and did not throw any exception either. I am trying to simulate login based on spaces in XWiki Enterprise and this information will be very helpful. Also, if I wanted to change the "function" that is called when a login form is submitted (loginsubmit action), where do I do that. Thanks
