I want to refer back to my thread on adding XWiki
attachments to SVN.
Artem and Vincent both suggested implementing the
XWikiAttachmentStoreInterface.
In this regard, I have a few Questions:
1)If I chose this option, do I have to follow the implementaion as done
for
XWikiHibernateAttachmentStore (Is this the class that handles adding the
attachments to the DB?)
Yes.
You can just extend this class and override needed methods.
2) would that be enough - just implementing the
interface, so that the
functions like saveAttachementContent() will add it to SVN and
loadAttachmentContent() will load it into XWiki from SVN. or would I
have to do something with other classes like the XWikiAction class (in
the Web package)
Yes. It would be enough.
3) Sergiu suggested that I could also use the
notification mechanism for
the Fileupload action. Is this referring to the UploadAction class in
the Web ackage or the fileupload plugin?
I'm not much familiar with notification mechanism in xwiki, but I think
it is more simpler and better way than writing AttachmentStore.
I am sorry if I am being naive, I am just trying to
undertsand the code
structure and dependencies, call hierarchies etc. Is there any place
where I can go in to understand the code better?
4) Also, my understanding is that the API package has all the classes
whose objects can be used in the velocity scripts at the presentation
layer. Am I right?
yes
5) Can the SVN integration be done at the presentation
layer (with
velocity scripts...I doubt it, but just wanted to confirm)
I think no.
6) this is something to do with Eclispe and Subclipse
I guess. I used
subclipse to download the xwiki core and then checked it out into my
workspace. The first time I did it, I had the Lucene plugin class in
there. The second time I re-did it, the plugin class was no more there.
(That is just one of the classes I noticed). could you think of
something I might have missed out?
try to clean, update eclipse projects.
no ideas more.
