Dear Wincent, Thank for your respose. Can u little clarify me ,why i dont need to build up xwiki from source?.. I go with your advice.But can u little help me out in explaming where should i get the database java files which require for user authentication at the time of login.(means verifying user from the database). I am asking this because i have technical manpower with me who has knowledge of Maven n all. but the difficulty is i am not getting the way ,the user and admin authentication checking is goin on. I read at your dev.xwiki.org.. about custom authentication that you need to make changes only in conf file. But our specific requirement to bypass this authentication ,as we already have our database for user authentication. rest all your wiki will work as it is. Hope you understand my requirement.Because we are team,so my taskk is to rectify the files and area need to change in Your xwiki in order to make your wiki up to our requirement.
