[xwiki-devs] JCRStore status
by Artem Melentyev 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hi. I just committed JCRStore prototype based on JCRv1 to sandbox/jcrstore Ideas of the prototype: 1. use value objects for storage (xwiki data model proposal: sandbox/org.xwiki.model) org.xwiki.store.value.* value objects allow us to eliminate xwiki-core dependency in jcrstore. we can reuse value objects in new data model later as in sandbox/org.xwiki.model. 2. put all storage specific code in DAO classes. Stores will remain only business code and delegate storage stuff to DAOs. (stores will deprecated by new data model later) 3. convert value objects to/from xwiki business objects. org.xwiki.store.value.ValueConverter planed jcr hierarchy: (node name (node type)) / <space> (xwiki:space) <docname> (xwiki:document) objects <class.name> <number> (xwiki:object) properties (Jcr Value or Value[]) attachments <filename> (xwiki:attachment extends nt:resource) lock (xwiki:lock) translations <language> (xwiki:document) (translations of document) the main problem: JCRStore needs JCRSQL2 language from JCRv2 (JCRv1 has very limited query languages), but: JSR-283 aka JCR v2 isn't still out. It was planed for September. http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283 Jackrabbit's JCRSQL2 parser is still in progress (and unusable yet). eXoJCR v2 also in progress: http://jira.exoplatform.org/browse/JCRS I'm afraid JCR v2 may not release before XE-1.7. JCRv2 release was shifted several times before. :(. JcrStore plans: implement base JcrDAOs. (JcrDocumentDAO is ready) try to run xwiki on jcrstore. (not fully possible without JCRSQL2, but may show some problems in store) implement XWQL to JCRSQL2 translator. wait for JCRv2 or at least working JCRSQL2. test XWQL on JCRSQL2. rewrite all HQL queries to XWQL. Delivery date: If JCRv2 (or JCRSQL2) will release in a ~week then I'll implement base functionality in 1.7M2 and improve it in 1.7RC1. If not then 1.8M1 PS: I'm sorry for long delay. I was ill 2.5 last weeks. It very reduce my activity. -- Artem Melentyev

[xwiki-devs] mute error while importing xar
by Paul Libbrecht 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Hello XWikiers, I'm importing the base xar on a brand new xwiki and... well... - upload works flawlessly - clicking on the archive as well (this should have a wait UI btw!) - but then I get the following text with no information in the console > > Import > > Import > Importing curriki-wiki.xar: Error while preparing importing > > * 0 Document(s) installed > * 0 Document(s) skipped > * 0 Document(s) with error > (preceded by the warning the wiki is empty) Is there a switch somewhere to raise verbosity and get info about what went wrong? As I said, the list of files is there (and big). paul PS: for curriki-aware folks, that xar was created with the current curriki checkout after removal of package.xml. I get the same results if I use the svn-ed package.xml.

[xwiki-devs] Milton (webdav)
by Vincent Massol 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

This should interest Asiri: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=50906 " Milton is an open source java library for implementing desktop integration in your web apps with WEBDAV. For those not familiar with WEBDAV, its like FTP but implemented in HTTP. Its a mature standard and supported natively in all operating systems. Once integrated, your users can view and/or manipulate remote data in your application using drag and drop of files and folders in their native OS file browser - eg Windows Explorer, Nautilus, etc, over HTTP. Milton is agnostic of the nature of your data and can be used with any type of persistence mechanism, including hibernate, JPA, etc. Milton can be integrated easily into most web apps by implementing a Resource interface and a ResourceFactory, and adding the Milton servlet to web.xml. Milton allows you to specify which http methods to support (eg DELETE, PUT, MKCOL, etc). HTTP authentication and authorisation are delegated to your application logic. Milton is not bound to the Servlet API, so it can easily be integrated into alternative web servers. " Note: I'm not saying we should move to that. Just that we need to keep it in our radar and decide at some point if it's better or not better than the jackrabbit api we're using. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Hiding underlying documents behind management interfaces (was: Administration of Groups not valid since 1.6)

WDYT > ? The question is how much do we target advanced developers versus normal users/administrators. The link is there so that somebody that knows XWiki well can go to the document and edit the objects, or manipulate in other ways the document holding the group. I guess that if there's an interface powerful and stable enough to render raw object editing useless, we could completely hide this kind of documents, not just from the RMUI, but from all other applications. After all, an advanced dev can always manually enter the right URL manually and go on from there. WDYT? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] GWT WYSIWYG - Macro handling behavior
by Vincent Massol 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi Marius and everyone, Here's an idea of a specification for macro handling in the new wysiwyg editor: * Macros are rendered when displayed in the editor * There's an outline so that the user can see what content corresponds to a macro * When the cursor is inside a macro the background color is changed * Clicking on Edit Macro to edit the selected macro * There's a background thread running that re-renders the page (and thus the macro) every N seconds. We need this since the macro content depends on other content (for example the TOC macro will depend on sections, the velocity macro will depend on values set in other velocity macros, etc). We should also have a way to let the user refresh the rendering manually. ** Note that since there are both inline and block macros we also need to refresh the rendering for that reason. For ex, if you put a velocity macro inside a list item and then you remove the list item the renderer result of the macro will be different (in the second case an extra paragraph will be added). * We should also have a button to switch between rendering macros and not rendering macros. For example when a page is including another page with some large content the user might want to disable macro rendering to focus only on the content of the current page. The default should be to render macros. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
