Hello,
I have not yet found how to do a mass insertion as simple user. Thanks for
any pointer if this information is not true.
So, I can try as developper.
I would like to add a lot of pages (500) into a xwiki to transfert
information from excel file to xwiki.
So I suggest to write code that :
- upload an XML file,
- read the XML file and create the pages.
How can do it ? (And how can I give it to xwiki ?)
What is the XML file : <page> is a <title> and <body> ? other
information ?
How can I download a file to the server ? Is it some size limitation ?
How can I put the XML page into the xwiki database ? Can I write "directly
into the database" or must I create a "virtual client on the server" that
will read the XML page and simulate a browser ?
Other ideas ?
Thanks for any pointers.
Best regards,
PHL.

XWiki already has a mechanism to import/export content as XML, this
functionality is accessible, as a user, from the administrator panel,
or as a developper through the fromXML() and toXML() methods of
com.xpb.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument.
To understand the XML structure I would recommend that you download
the default XWiki XAR file from xwiki.org, unzip it, and examine the
xml files inside. Then you can write a converter from Excel to XWiki
XML's documents.
Other alternatives to do a massive import are SQL queries
run directly on the database (see xwiki.org, developpers section,
for a document detailing the database schema), or using the XML RPC api.
Kind regards,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,
I went through the contents of the xar file. The files like class,
classsheet, class template and documents seems to be very big and comes
to be nearly 1000 lines. I would like to keep the files (at least the
files corresponding to the documents) as minimal as possible. Can anyone
tell me what all things can be avoided from these files ? Where can I
get info about these things ?
