[xwiki-devs] Using Byteman to debug XWiki

by Vincent Massol

I've had a lot of fun using Byteman to debug some HSQLDB code last week. I wrote a quick tutorial to explain how it works: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/preview/Community/Debugging#HUsingByteman Enjoy! -Vincent PS: It's really really powerful and simpler to use than Aspects IMO when your use case is to debug stuff.

[xwiki-devs] XWiki @ FOSDEM 2013 - Wiki devroom

by Vincent Massol

Hi guys, FYI I've just sent the following email for proposing a "wiki" devroom for FOSDEM 2013 (see https://fosdem.org/2013/call_for_devrooms.html): ------ start here ------- Hi guys, Several members of the XWiki community (on behalf of other wiki communities too) would like to kindly ask for a devroom at FOSDEM. Here are the details: * Devroom name: What's next for Wikis? * Description: Wiki systems have been proven as an effective way for organizing information and for encouraging and improving collaboration. Wikipedia is among one of the most obvious examples, but wikis have provided solutions in different contexts such education, e-democracy and also in the enterprise domain. By gathering together the experts in open source wiki systems, the goal of this devroom is to start a discussion between the different wiki communities about the next features and ideas they're all working on, with the intent of cross-pollination and synergies between wikis. The topics can also be broadened to discuss what makes wikis different from other collaboration tools today. * Project URLs: In addition to XWiki (we can have 5-10 persons from the XWiki community), we've contacted the MediaWiki and Foswiki communities and they've both agreed to participate to this devroom already. - http://xwiki.org - http://foswiki.org/ - http://www.mediawiki.org/ - http://dokuwiki.org/ - http://moinmo.in/ - any other open source wiki community interested in participating, the more the merrier! * Preferred day: Saturday * Why should FOSDEM accept this proposal? Because FOSDEM is one of the few conferences in the world where people from various wiki open source communities can meet! And because wikis are still a hot topic but they need to reinvent themselves to not lose steam vs all the other types of collaboration tools out there today and a global discussion with the open souce wiki actors on this topic would help a lot. Thanks a lot -Vincent Massol http://about.me/vmassol XWiki open source committer ------ end here ------- I'll let you know if our devroom is accepted. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Introduce BlockCollection Block wrapper

by Thomas Mortagne

Hi devs, In many APIs we sometime want to manipulate several Block but we don't want to put them in a meaningful Block like XDOM which is supposed to mean a full document. Right now the only way to do it is to have both an API with Block and another with Collection<Block> but it's a bit more annoying for return type where you are forced to return a List<Block> even if you are in a case where you actually have only one Block to return like in macros for example. We talked a long time ago with Vincent about a BlockCollection which would not have any meaning (i.e. no corresponding event in the stream rendering API) and would just be here to be able to pass several blocks as a Block. Since UI extension is going to use it a lot I propose to introduce it now. WDYT ? Any better idea for the name ? Here is my +1. -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Provide an AbstractScriptService best practice helper

by Thomas Mortagne

Hi devs, I find myself starting to copy past a lot of stuff from one ScriptService to another and I wanted to discuss with you think I find common enough to be put in a AbstractScriptService in xwiki-commons-script to be reused everywhere. As a discussion based I committed a first thing in https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/commit/a19c6df56fa984dacc9a8eeb50bb9… in a branch. So here are some ideas: * helper to set/get exception that every method is supposed to catch to make error handling in languages like velocity easier (in the commit) * helper to find a proper "safe" wrapper based on the type of an object (there is a example of such helper in https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/tree/master/xwiki-commons-core/xwiki…) Any other ? WDYT ? -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] XWiki's WYSIWYG Editor standalone

by Marius Dumitru Florea

Hi guys, For those of you who might be interested, I created a platform branch that contains a demo of how XWiki's WYSIWYG Editor can be used outside XWiki. The editor uses the rendering module and the component manager, but they can be removed also if you want to use only the client side (JavaScript code). See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/tree/feature-wysiwyg-standalone/xwi… . If you want to try it, you need to build the WYSIWYG Editor modules (use -Pdev for a quick build) and deploy the standalone war in a servlet container of your choice. Hope this helps, Marius

[xwiki-devs] passing a session variable to the XwikiLogin page

by echocoder

I would like to pass in a variable from a JSP page, named mySession, to the login page of Xwiki, such as: So when the user has valid credentials they will be redirected here: /xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin/?mySession=" + session.getId(); There is some a custom authentication class written in Java that extends XwikiAuthServiceImpl and inside of the checkAuth(XWikiContext context) method I am trying to retrieve the value I passed in from the JSP page. String mySession = (String)context.getRequest().getSession().getAttribute("mySession"); The value of mySession is always null. Does anyone know where I went wrong in trying to accomplish this? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/passing-a-session-variable-to-the-XwikiLo… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
