Hi there,
After running XWiki fine in my local server, I'm trying to run it on my hosting
provider.
Acces to WebHome yelds the error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki
context
Wrapped Exception: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg read)
I tried changing web.xml to
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>XWikiConfig</env-entry-name>
<!--
<env-entry-value>/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg</env-entry-value>
-->
<env-entry-value>/virtual/lozano.eti.br/www/xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg</env
-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
That is, I tried cofiguring the real phisical path to the xwiki.cfg file,
But still get the same error.
My ISP tells me Xwiki is trying to get /WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg as an absolute file system path,
not as a context-relative path, and it looks like changing the <env-entry> has no
effect.
What should I do?

I suspect your host is on a *nix server. Have a look at the file permissions
and make sure that it is readable. I suggest the following:
chmod 664 xwiki.cfg
...when in the WEB-INF directory of course.

Hi Fernando,
This is indeed a bug. Here's what we do:
InputStream xwikicfgis = null;
// first try to load the file pointed by the
given path
// if it does not exist, look for it relative to
the classpath
File f = new File(xwikicfg);
if (f.exists()) {
xwikicfgis = new FileInputStream(f);
} else {
xwikicfgis = econtext.getResourceAsStream
(xwikicfg);
...
The pb is that f.exists() will return true and new FileInputStream
will throw an exception and thus the else will not get executed.
I have opened an issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1539
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
This happens in just a single source line? Or is this coding idiom used in other parts of
Xwiki? Because if it's a single source (or half a dozen source files) I'll gladly
patch, recompile, test and submit the fix to the community. :-)

We don't read that man files. I haven't checked but we should check
how we read the hibernate.cfg.xml file too.
Thanks for your welcome help, that would be great!

Hi Vincent,
hibernare.cfg.xml should not be read directly by XWiki, but by the
framework itself, using the classloader (Class.getResourceAsStream).

We don't read that man files. I haven't

how we read the hibernate.cfg.xml file too.

Hi Vincent,
Just checking if I missed something obvious. Shouldn't XWiki call call
File.canRead() instead of File.exists()? Actually, by reading the Java
SE API docs it looks like canRead() will throw the same Security
Exception, so the solution would be to catch it. But it's kinda nonsense
to have a method that should return false if I can't read a file and
this method instead throws an exception.
When I start my patching excercise, should I use either XWiki 1.0
sources or 1.1? For me, 1,1 should be almost production-ready to be
viable, but I could restrict myself to only 1.0 features.

Hi Vincent,
This is a proposal for what could be the correct idiom for XWiki
regarding its configuration files. I understand XWiki wants to giver the
option of specifing both filesystem absolute path and context relative
paths for configuration files.
I started by creating the following JSP page, which re-creates the error
I get from XWiki:
------------------- readCfg.jsp ------------------
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.lang.*, java.util.*, java.net.*,
org.apache.log4j.*" %>
<HTML>
<%
String xwikicfg = "/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg";
InputStream xwikicfgis = null;
// first try to load the file pointed by the given path
// if it does not exist, look for it relative to the classpath
File f = new File(xwikicfg);
if (f.exists()) {
out.println("<h1>Read from filesystem</h1>");
xwikicfgis = new FileInputStream(f);
} else {
out.println("<h1>Read as web resource</h1>");
xwikicfgis = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(xwikicfg);
}
BufferedReader is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
xwikicfgis));
%>
<pre>
<%
String linha = is.readLine();
while (linha != null) {
out.println(linha);
linha = is.readLine();
}
is.close();
%>
</pre>
</HTML>
--------------------------------------
I get the expected result:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not
initialize main XWiki context
Wrapped Exception: access denied (java.io.FilePermission
\WEB-INF\xwiki.cfg read)
If I change "f.existsIO" with "f.canRead()" I get the same exception.
But if I change the order, that is, try first a context-relative path
and only later a filesystem absolute path, it works in my hosting
provider. Please note that I'm not reading "relative to the classpath"
as stated by Vicent. Neither is XWiki, if the code snipset he provided
is correct. So here's my code:
------------------- readCfg2.jsp ------------------
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.lang.*, java.util.*, java.net.*,
org.apache.log4j.*" %>
<HTML>
<%
String xwikicfg = "/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg";
InputStream xwikicfgis = null;
xwikicfgis = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(xwikicfg);
File f = new File(xwikicfg);
if (xwikicfgis != null) {
out.println("<h1>Read as web resource</h1>");
}
else if (f.canRead()) {
out.println("<h1>Read from filesystem</h1>");
xwikicfgis = new FileInputStream(f);
} else {
// this won't be run if there's a SecurityException
throw new ServletException("Can't open " + xwikicfg);
}
BufferedReader is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
xwikicfgis));
%>
<pre>
<%
String linha = is.readLine();
while (linha != null) {
out.println(linha);
linha = is.readLine();
}
is.close();
%>
</pre>
</HTML>
------------------------------------------------
Now it runs fine.
