Re: [xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki Summer 2013 Hackathon

Hi Vincent and devs Sorry for the delay, but getting to know the new Authentication and how we can change it got a bit out of hand ;-)

We decided to prepare the publication extension for xwiki 5.1. It worked (in our old 2.7.2) by extending the XWikiRightServiceImpl and changing the rights accordingly. Now - due to the caching - this is not so easy anymore, so I wanted to give you some feedback on where and why we struggled: - We did not want to replace the whole AuthorizationSettler, but just to extend the default implementation. To do so we needed a possibility to change the SecurityAccessEntry we got back from the default impl. The problem was, that all the setters (set, deny, allow) in XWikiSecurityAccess are package private. As far as we understood, the only possible way to do this, is to put our class in the package org.xwiki.security.authorization.internal. - To get it to work with the caching we had to extend the DefaultAuthorizationManager but we found no easy way to get the date when a cache entry was created, which we would have needed.

As also linked on the Hackaton page you can finde the extension on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/PublishUnpublish
