You mean that the public wiki reads data from the read-only database,
which is actually updated by cloning another read-write database updated
from a private wiki?
Actually, the goal is the converse: the internal, robot-oriented xwiki would read the
cloned DB.
That's an interesting idea for securing a
public server.
could be though you need a filtering mechanism thn.
You should also set in xwiki.cfg:
xwiki.readonly=1
why *also* ?
"Set" it so that some of the code inside the platform is aware that the
wiki is supposed to be read-only and act accordingly. "Also", because
that's not enough to guarantee that no changes will be made to the data,
and the database-level read-only is much safer.
This might
reduce some of the errors that you get, although there's a
lot of code that ignores this setting. It would be nice if you could
report (on jira) what exactly breaks so that we can fix it properly.
If you say a lot of code ignores that than I'd better not rely on it I'm afraid.
Nonetheless, the previous option sounds good.
