[xwiki-devs] set() on a TextArea property ?
by jvivien.m2 jvivien.m2 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

hi all, in my Java plugin I try to set the value of a BaseObject property, which is a textAreaClass : when I do baseObject.set("fieldName", value, context); what class should be the value object ? For example, my guess is that with TextAreaClass and StringClass properties, the value object should be a simple String object. Could you tell me if I am wrong ? because this is not documented anywhere :-) And I think you have some methods like setStringValue in the BaseObject class. Then should I use those instead of simple set() ? But which one should I use for my textArea class ? Thanks a lot. -- Jean-Vivien MAURICE Elève Ingénieur Informatique et Gestion, Polytech'Montpellier (ISIM) E-mail : jean.vivien.maurice(a)gmail.com Tél. : 0046 7 62 33 20 46 Skype : jean.vivien

Actually for each request i go through my implementation of AuthServiceImpl (same that ldap without check password) i though it was just called when i call loginsubmit action the consequence is that my user is added to the default group each time seems like it does not recognize the user so xwiki add it several time with the same name !!! i go on...

[xwiki-devs] shibboleth auth
by Jan Kodera 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi, I am using for my diploma thesis xwiki and i want to authorize users against shibboleth( http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/ ) I know that I must implements XWikiAuthService, but i don't know what the methods do. So, there are three methods public XWikiUser checkAuth(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException; public void showLogin(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException; public Principal authenticate(String username, String password, XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException; and which one is called when user come to xwiki? What is the difference between checkAuth and authenticate method? I want to implement lazy sessions, that means, when user click on login, he will be redirected to shibboleth auth provider. The same case is when user want to logout. Now i must to find out, if i need create user logins in database or if it possible to create some session only login. Thanks for reply Jan Kodera

[xwiki-devs] XEclipse 1.0M2... Almost ready for release
by Fabio Mancinelli 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

I am resending this because yesterday it didn't come through... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, I've been working on the refactoring of XEclipse and it is almost ready for release. There are several high and low level enhancements: 1) The UI has been partially rewritten by leveraging Eclipse framework APIs. Things now are a lot simpler at the code level. There are also some UI restyling to make it nicer/more functional. 2) Offline support has been rewritten and now it works fine. It seamlessly caches pages, and detects conflicts when there have been remote modifications. The offline API is pretty simple and well documented and should allow for future extensions hopefully without too many problems (e.g., using an embedded XWiki as cache storage). 4) An Eclipse RCP shell for building and using XEclipse as a standalone application has been added. There are still some minor things missing like commands for creating/ removing pages/spaces and some editor-synchronization logic. But this is easy to implement and I'll do it tomorrow. Some documentation of non-critical parts is also missing. I would say that we can schedule a release on Monday. In the meanwhile I invite you to build your own copy of XEclipse and try it out. In order to compile XEclipse do the following: 1) cd TEMP_DIR; svn co http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-extensions/xwiki-eclipse/trunk/ xeclipse 2) Download xeclipse-target-platform.tar.gz [1] from http://www.xwiki.org/fabio/xeclipse-target-platform.tar.gz and unpack it in TEMP_DIR/xeclipse 3) Go to TEMP_DIR/xeclipse/plugins/org.xwiki.xeclipse.rcp and follow the instructions in README.maven At the end of the process you should obtain a .zip with XEclipse compiled and packaged for your platform. Unzip it wherever you want and launch the XEclipse binary. Cheers, Fabio [1] This is of course a temporary location. Probably the target platform will be moved to the maven repository and downloaded directly from there by tweaking a bit the pom.xml

actually i want to post to submitlogin action to call my own authentification class wich is implements XWikiAuthServiceImpl this class is a copy of ldap authentification class without check password the purpose is to create a wiki user but once user is logged a got a message "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action" (need to be automatically insert in a particular group)? in log file : "Accept user even without account" the other problem is that each time i do a request my user is replicated in XWikiAllGroup (but this is cause of me ,though my code call each time authentification, don't know why yet) i have another user that is known in xwiki and i can't logged to xwiki anymore i have a problem with context.getWiki().saveDocument(doc, context.getMessageTool().get("core.comment.createdUser"), context); does it check password through this methode?? actually i'm a little lost ... ----Message d'origine---- >Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 23:19:23 +0100 (CET) >De: "Jerome Velociter" <jerome(a)xwiki.com> >A: "XWiki Developers" <devs(a)xwiki.org> >Copie à: devs(a)xwiki.org >Sujet: Re: [xwiki-devs] ntlm with xwiki > >Hello, >> >> First of all Sorry for creating a new topic >> >> thanks for your anwser Jerome. >> >> but Actually i have seen this feature >> >> i added jcifs and it works well >> an other hand i have tested impletentetion for ldap its works too >> >> but i want a transparent authentication >> so now the problem is : >> >> i would like to not have form login >> i saw in code that we can define our login page with this property in >> xwiki.cfg : >> xwiki.authentication.loginpage (if null default is >> /bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin) >> >> i've changed this property but no changes when template call >> >> $xwiki.getURL("XWiki.XWikiLogin", "login", "xredirect=$logredir")) >> >> i still got the same url : bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin? > >Actually, it's the expected behavior : the call asks for the URL of the >XWiki.XWikiLogin document, under the login action and with a xredirect >query string parameter.

[xwiki-devs] New roadmap for XE 1.2
by Vincent Massol 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi, Since we've slipped a lot for the 1.2M2 release we need a new roadmap again... Right now the only thing holding up the 1.2M2 release is to commit the new UI for rights mgmt on trunk (Thomas/Evelina should hopefully finish this today and then I'll start the release). So the plan is: 1.2M2: 12 Nov 1.2RC1: 26 Nov 1.2RC2: 3 Dec 1.2Final: promotion of 1.2RC2 as final on 8 Dec Note 1: The goal is still to have a stable 1.2 by Javapolis 2007. Note 2: This means that from now on, only bug fixes should be done for the 1.2 release. If you need to commit stuff for 1.3 then let me know and I'll branch 1.2. Thanks -Vincent
