Hi devs,
In XWiki, if you send a POST request at the following URL
('MySpace.MyPage' is a document that doesn't exist at the moment)
/bin/save/MySpace/MyPage
with the following HTTP parameters:
* template=MySpace.MyTemplate
* XWiki.XWikiRights_0_users=XWiki.Me
* <others parameters>
with 'MySpace.MyTemplate' a template document and 'XWiki.Me' a user of
the wiki.
2 cases:
1. If 'MySpace.MyTemplate' contains a 'XWiki.XWikiRights' object, then
the resulting document 'MySpace.MyPage' will have this object with its
property 'users' initialize with the value 'XWiki.Me' (see HTTP
parameters)
2. If 'MySpace.MyTemplate' does not contain a 'XWiki.XWikiRights'
object, the resulting document 'MySpace.MyPage' will not contain it
either
### PROPOSAL
Create automatically the objects if they don't exist in the template
document.
###
To make it possible, it seems that we would need to refactor the method
'readObjectsFromForm(EditForm, XWikiContext)' in the
'com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument' class. And probably modify also the
'getObject(String)' from 'com.xpn.xwiki.web.EditForm' class.
2 things to take care:
* It seems there is no unit test for these methods.
* May this proposal be a security problem?
WDYT?
