Hi,
Just to let you know I've found an important problem in XEM, caused by the changes
brought by the entity references.
The pb is in XWikiDocument's code for object manipulation. I've replaced the Map
of String that was used to store objects with a Map of DocumentReference.
So when you have code like:
XWikiDocument doc = context.getWiki().getDocument("wiki:space.page",
context);
BaseObject obj = doc.getObject("XWiki.SomeClass);
And if context.getDatabse() = "currentWiki" (with "currentWiki" !=
"wiki")
Then doc.getObject will check if there's an object of ref
"currentWiki:XWiki.SomeClass" in doc, which won't be found since there might
indeed be an object but of ref "wiki:XWiki.SomeClass"...
Basically we now allow objects and classes in a document to reference classes located in
another wiki.
To fix this all calling code should be modified to use full references. However since this
isn't going to happen fast enough for 2.2 final and since in any case it could break
user's code I think we need to modify XWikiDocument so that all class/object methods
ignore the wiki part of the references, thus assuming all classes/objects refer to
classes/objects in the current wiki, as it was assumed before...
Let me know if you agree. I'll start looking at the code to see how much there is to
do that in the meantime.
Thanks
