[xwiki-users] Easy to set object properties from strings?

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi Thomas or Brian (which one is it ?)

There is a "set" function in BaseObject which either takes a typed 
object but also a String. It calls "fromString" if it is a String
So something like

doc.getObject("XWiki.ClassName",0).set("fieldname", "value", context)

should work
