Subject: About XWiki XMLRPC
To: xwiki-dev@objectweb.org
Hi all,
After going through xwiki sources, I finally managed to fix the issues with XMLRPC. But before opening up any JIRA issues or submitting patches, i thought it would be better to get some feedback. Following are my observations on XMLRPCs,
1. XWiki's XMLRPC implementation does not map one-to-one with the given
documentation
Ex.
- in XWiki, there is no method as removePage(), instead we have deletePage()
- in XWiki, there is no method as removeSpace() but it's achieved by deleting all the child pages.
2. Some XMLRPCs are not implemented. But these are not used used in Xeclipse (yet), so i didn't pay much attention to them.
3. One XMLRPC call threw an exception when it's return type was 'void'. I changed this one to 'boolean' and everything works fine. I don't know why this happens though.
4. storePage() RPC had a problem which makes it override other pages when trying to save a newly created page. I think this is a typo, anyway, it's fixed.
5. I also noted that there is a XWiki specific XMLRPC API too (which is very limited).
So, if any of you have any concerns, thoughts, opinions, please throw them in. I'll create the JIRA issues little later.
Thanks.
