[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Add new methods for manipulating properties to DocumentAccessBridge

by Alex Busenius

Hi devs, It seems that currently there is no good way to manipulate XWiki objects and properties in documents without depending on old core. DocumentAccessBridge defines some methods for changing properties, but they are very limited, in particular, there is no way to: * add a new property (except the first one) * set a property of n-th object (getting it is possible) * remove an object * get the number of objects Therefore I propose to add the following methods to DocumentAccessBridge: // returns index of the new object int addObject(ObjectReference obj) throws Exception; // returns false if there was no object, throws on access error boolean removeObject(ObjectReference obj, int index) throws Exception; // number of objects of the given class int getObjectCount(ObjectReference obj); // returns index of the object that was modified, adds a new object if // index is out of range int setProperty(ObjectReference obj, int idx, String prop, Object val) throws Exception; // just to have all needed methods taking object reference Object getProperty(ObjectReference obj, int index, String propertyName); I've chosen ObjectReference because it contains (almost) all needed information, including class name and document reference. It would be better to have the object index stored in the reference too, like in org.xwiki.annotation.reference.IndexedObjectReference, but this class is annotation-specific. I need those methods to store certificates in user profile, see https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/xwiki-signedscripts WDYT? Thanks, Alex

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Code names for XWiki release cycles

by Jerome Velociter

Hello friends, I would like to propose introducing the use of code names for each release cycle of XWiki (2.x, 3.x, etc.), using a agreed-on scheme (a la Ubuntu [1]). The main reason behind this proposal is that : A. it's groovy :) B. there is no B. As for the code name scheme, with regard to recent events involving a fair portion of the XWiki Development team [2], I would like to propose the use of cocktail names as code names. Some examples - for the sake of illustration : XWiki "Cuba Libre" 2.5, XWiki "White Russian" 2.6, XWiki "Bloody Mary" 3.0, etc. you name it! [3]. Virgin cocktails tolerated :) The release manager for each cycle would have the honor to pick up the release code name. Isn't that an awesome incentive ? +1 for all that Jerome.

[xwiki-devs] [UX] Action Menus: What menu items we have into "Simple/Advanced" mode

by Ecaterina Valica

Hi, "Simple/Advanced" mode definition http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HSimpleandAdv… After discussing Action Menu Improvements part 2 ( http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ActionMenuProposal2) we changed the position of "Access rights" from "Edit" submenu to "Page" submenu. Until now, changes done by "Advanced" mode were located only in "Edit" submenu. A. The question is: what other items do you think should go under "Simple"/"Advanced" mode? Do we keep the same items? Do we add more? Do we simplify? B. Another idea is to change "Simple"/"Advanced" mode into "User"/"Developer"/"Admin" in the structure we also have the documentation written. Obs1. The problem with menus is that they don't rely only on these modes, but also on the rights the users has to do some actions (like edit, delete, admin). Obs2. The ideal way for this topic would be to let administrators decide what goes into what mode, but even like that, we should still have some standards values for the modes. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] [proposal] A separate hudson project for escaping tests

by Alex Busenius

Hi devs, The new escaping tests I recently proposed generate a quite large number of tests and take noticeable amount of time to run. There are currently 782 escaping tests, they need 8 minutes on my core duo (for comparision, there are about 1800 tests in enterprise/ in total, they need 1 hour). Caleb had an idea about adding a separate Hudson project for them, this would make it possible to see the cause of failures or, in ideal case, run functional tests in parallel with escaping tests (if the hardware is good enough). WDYT? Alex

[xwiki-devs] Find current mode of the document through Velocity

by xManish

Hello All, Through Velocity, is it possible to find whether we are in the "Edit" mode of the document or "View" mode ? Actually, I wanted to make few changes in the content of the document when its in View mode. So if I could know the mode of the document, I could just use some if/else statement. Thanks in advance for the help.

[xwiki-devs] [proposal] add to XWikiStoreInterface List<T> getEntities(T entityType, List<EntityReference> references)

by Caleb James DeLisle

The proposal is straightforward, add a method which allows for getting multiple entities at once. List<T> getEntities(T entityType, List<EntityReference> references) The reason for wanting to have a bulk getter is because optimizations can be made at the database level and there are a number of places where multiple documents are loaded at once eg: panels. For the moment I intend to use an if statement to determine what it's getting and load each of the entities using the current loader. As usage increases I will begin looking at ways to bulk load. WDYT? Caleb

[xwiki-devs] Deploying on JBoss 5+

by Eric Lentz

Be advised that deploying on JBoss 5 has an issue in using jython scripts. I created a patch to fix the problem and submitted it to jython development to be implemented. That issue can be viewed at http://bugs.jython.org/issue1639. In short, the problem is that JBoss 5 introduced the vfszip protocol for jar files which prefixes "SomeJarFileClass.class.getName()" with "vfszip:" versus "jar:file:" (which happens in containers like Tomcat) and jython uses the latter string to obtain the jar filename in order to produce a classpath for jython. That classpath would point to the jar file for python modules, like re.py. When using a macro, like the code macro, you get the error, "ImportError: No module named re". I made a personal fix by applying the patch to jython 2.5.1 source (the patch provided to jython maintainers is for version 2.5.2b1, but might work) and performed a build up to the point where the class PySystemState.class was created. I then did jar -uvf jython... org/python/core/PySystemState.class to update that one class. As a side effect of that command (I guess) I then also had to include jna-posix.jar from the extlibs directory of the jython distro. in xwiki's lib directory. Let me know if you have questions by e-mailing directly (if that's an option). I may not be monitoring this list much longer. I just wanted to let people know about this.

[xwiki-devs] Mouse Listener Events

by Melanie

Hello, How does XWiki capture mouse events? For example in annotations, you can select text and a pop-up menu appears. What code captures the text highlighting and causes a popup to appear? Is it done in javascript or in the java plugin? -Melanie
