Re: [xwiki-devs] XML file format to import multiple revisions of an existing page via XAR upload

30 Sep 2015

Thanks very much for your response. 

Can you please point me to the GitHub link of the code where this logic is defined? I am
trying to understand if / how we can customize it by ourselves.

As far as I can see in the code of this REST service, when the document already exist
either you overwrite it entirely with what comes from the XAR (including the history) or
you add a new version but appending the history from the XAR to the history from the
database does not seems to be supported.

You might want to create an improvement issue related to that on http://jira.xwiki.org.

  Hi,

 I am trying to update an existing page (ad new revisions) by uploading XAR using REST
API:

 curl -k -u Admin:admin -v -X POST -T "Main.testpage.xar" -H 
 "Content-Type: application/stream" 
 https://SERVER/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki?history=ADD

 I could successfully upload a single new revision to an existing page and that new
revision is correctly showing up on the page history. But I wanted to upload multiple
revisions at a time.  For that in the document xml I specified the new revisions inside
<versions> </versions> tag (similar to what we see in the XML of exported page
with history), but that does not work.

 Is it possible to add multiple revisions to an existing page with a single XAR upload?

 Following are my document xml and package.xml inside the XAR file that I was using:

 Main/testpage.xml:

 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <xwikidoc
version="1.1">
   <web>Main</web>
   <name>testpage</name>
