Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking about when I designed it.
I envisioned the next generation as being more powerful than the current
generation in a Turing sense so that it can emulate it to provide backward
compatibility. I had imagined a UI where the user selects properties in a
class editor and template code is generated below which they can edit.
As far as the UI goes, the sky really is the limit here.
Thanks,

Hi Caleb,
This is great stuff!
Since XClasses are actually JDO-enhanced Java classes as I understand, is
there, or could we add, an UI to write such classes directly (in groovy for
example) ? It would offer more possibilities than regular XWiki classes :
more complex relationships, other types (blobs, etc.). A mechanism would be
needed to be able to manipulate such objects as native java objects from
the XWiki api I guess.
Does that make sense ?

Hi,
Over in the XWiki Research Department, we've been working on some exciting
new developments.
While XWiki provides industry leading flexibility for defining, storing
and querying data structures in SQL based stores, we are researching how to
bring storage to Cassandra distributed NoSQL data store and give you the
power to define and store your own true Java native Objects.
In this demonstration we run 2 integrated XWiki/Cassandra nodes and show
changes propagating from one to the other as we edit pages. We show that
you can stop one node and the wiki is still fully functional with only one
node running. Then we restart the downed node and show the edits which were
made while the node was down propagating over from the running node.
Here is the demonstration video:

While this is still in heavy development, we hope to be bringing up live
nodes for you to play with as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Caleb
