I would have assumed it to be off by default since the default authentication mechanism is to use xwiki's DB. I know the new LDAP impl will try XWiki's DB if it can't log on LDAP but that's not a good thing to do by default since everyone will incur some overhead and the fact that LDAP is on by default is misleading in this case. Note: I may have missed something since I've been off for 2 days and only unpiling my emails now ;) Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Testing required for fixes and new features...
by Vincent Massol 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi devs, I've seen that lots of bugs have been fixed and several improvements introduced. For most of them the issues have been closed without tests and this is really not good. We've decided that the 1.3 release would be the release when we start adding tests and even though some efforts were made for 1.3M2 this is not regressing in 1.3RC1 and it's not good. Could those who've been doing commits recently try to spend some more time on the tests please? Note: A special congrats to Thomas who's done the LDAP integration tests :) Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Creating an application on Xwiki
by Kamna Jain 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Pardon me if I am asking very basic questions. But, my question is about being able to build enterprise level application on top of XWiki. For doing something like this, do I have to use the XWiki platform (core ) source code or XWiki Enterprise code or both? Is there a location on XWiki website which talks about the details of this. Thanks

[xwiki-devs] XWikiAttachments in SVN ?
by Kamna Jain 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi, I was wondering if this has ever been discussed before in this mailing list - Having the attched files being version controlled by SVN? We use SVN a lot in our company and it would be great if there exists some integration between XWiki and SVN to save the attached files. Thanks

[xwiki-devs] [vote] Switch to java 5
by Sergiu Dumitriu 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi devs, I think it is time to completely switch to Java 5. It adds several nice features we could use. I think it is safe to make the switch, given that: - We get only few mails related to deployment on Java 1.4, and only very few say that they cannot drop 1.4. - Java 1.4 is in the late EOL process (should end this summer) - We already have some requirements on 1.5 libraries, so XWiki doesn't really work on 1.4, anyway Here's my +1 -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Skin Tester application
by Vincent Massol 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi, Since we've realized that testing a new skin isn't easy, I'm going to start a Skin Tester application (a XAR) that will have some specially built page made for testing a skin. The idea is not to duplicate what's already in the default wiki. I'll start with a page listing all the macros so that they can be easily tested. I'll commit it in the platform applications. Feel free to improve it afterwards. Thanks -Vincent
