Subject: [xwiki-dev] Re: Google Summer Coding - P2P XWiki
I have submitted a proposal for P2P XWiki to Google and am exploring the
current code base
so that I get a head-start incase the proposal gets accepted. I have
A) Downloaded XWiki source version 0.9.793
B) Looked at developer documentation from
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Doc/WebHome
By looking at overall architecture of XWiki, I think that an offline
XWiki will have a
different type of Store (centralized store) and a P2P XWiki will have
another store implementation
(P2P Store). At first glance, it appears that the centralized and P2P
store will
extend the interfaces XWikiStoreInterface. The interaction with these
stores *may* introduce new
APIs or use existing XML-RPC API without any changes. I am working on
understanding the overall architecture of the current XWiki and
identifying how a P2P XWiki can make the best use of
existing implementation.
I have the following questions:
a) I have downloaded the source code but don't see any documentation on
how I can run the XWiki completely
local to my machine. What are the requirements and steps for running a
local wiki from the source code?
[Cameron Braid] I managed to get xwiki running locally within eclipse by
doing this :
1) move (or copy) web.xml from src/main/web.xml into
src/main/web/WEB-INF/web.xml (so that src/main/web is an exploded war)
2) setup an eclipse user library called 'resin-3.0.12' with all libs from
resin/lib
3) setup a resin configuration file for resin resin-3.0.12 (GPL) in the
project root : see attached resin.conf
4) setup an eclipse launch target with his configuration :
* main class : com.caucho.server.resin.Resin
* arguments : -conf ${project_loc}/resin.conf
* vm args :
-Djava.util.logging.manager=com.caucho.log.LogManagerImpl
-Dbase=${project_loc}
* classpath : restore defaults then add the resin user library to
the bootstrap classpath
5) create a mysql database on localhost called xwiki username = xwiki,
password=xwiki
6) import the database dump (if you want some sample data / blogs etc..)
7) run the launch target
8) open http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
I suggest that web.xml and web-exo.xml be moved in the source tree so that
this first step isn't needed. Are there any reasons against this ?
b) To be sure, am I starting with the correct code
base or is there any
other version of offline XWiki (may be not fully developed)?
Any other suggestions also welcome,
Thanks,
