[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Stop adding stuff to oldcore because "new modules shouldn't depend on oldcore"?

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, I see that we keep adding stuff regularly to oldcore and the reason is "my code depends on oldcore so I cannot depend on oldcore in new modules". First, this is not completely true. We have several modules that already depend on oldcore. Also we cannot wait indefinitely that the new model magically appears (that won't happen… :)). I think it's fine to depend on oldcore when a new module requires to use the model and when the bridge (DAB) is not enough. However we need to be careful about one thing: that oldcore itself doesn't use that new module. So sometimes it will mean extracting stuff from oldcore into a separate module so that it can use the other new module ;) Personally I now think we need to continue splitting oldcore and it's more important that we create new modules for specific domains, even if they use old code and even if they use the com.xpn namespace when moving oldcode) than keep everything as it is and make oldcore grow fatter… Of course sometimes it may just be too complex but at least we should consider it and when possible create new modules depending on oldcore. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] merge branch 'feature-customizable-user-directory' (enterprise and platform) into 'master'

by Eduard Moraru

Hi devs, I`ve worked on allowing the customization of the User Directory and, implicitly, the ability to search for users in a wiki. The jira issue [1] has 3 attached images, but I am going to link them here [2][3][4] too for commodity. The idea is simple: Use the livetable to display users (pages with XWikiUsers objects in them) and display a selection of extra columns (XWikiUsers class property names) that are stored in the user's profile page as preferences. Each user can define his/er own view over the user directory and can also reset it to default. This feature comes as a complementary to the previous one [5] (that is still waiting for your votes, BWT :) ). Combined, the two allow an admin to display newly added user fields in the user's profile and other users to perform user searches based on (and not only) these fields. The only inconvenience with this approach is related to the workspaces application in the way that a workspace has a different membership relationship (membership to the workspace's group) than a normal XE instance or a farm subwiki (pages with XWikiUsers objects in them). Please see the jira issue [6] about this inconvenience and also the chosen and implemented solution (with an example). I`d like your vote if this is a feature that is to be integrated in XWiki, as proposed by the 2 pull requests [7][8] that are available. Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1131 [2] http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/attachment/24775/customizableUserDirectory-def…, no customization, default columns) [3] http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/attachment/24776/customizableUserDirectory-cus… screen) [4] http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/attachment/24777/customizableUserDirectory-cus… with extra columns added) [5] http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/22snpab3czfdexln (mail: [VOTE] merge branch 'feature-user-profile-information-editor' into master in 4.0M2) [6] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7648 (workspaces issue with the implemented solution) [7] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise/pull/18 [8] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/42

[xwiki-devs] Problems with PreemtiveLock

by Andreas Jonsson

Hello, I tried to build all modules under xwiki-platform-core, but the build process hanged on PreemtiveLockTest, so I had a look at the code and noticed some problems: 1. PreemtiveLockProvider.lockBlockingThread is concurrently accessed and updated despite being an unsynchronized HashMap. It must be synchronized. 2. The deadlock recovery algorithm is "if there is a deadlock, ignore the fact that the lock is locked and proceed." To me this seems unintuitive. When a deadlock is detected, an exception should be thrown and the thread aborted. 3. Presumably, the thread which is deprived of its lock is supposed to at least be blocked until the thieving thread unlocks the lock, but there is a race condition so both threads may run simultaneously. 4. Related to 3., the 'owners' stack in the lock is concurrently accessed without synchronization in 'currentThreadOwnsAllLocks'. As of deadlock detection, do we really need it? If so, would java.lang.management.ThreadMXBean.findDeadlockedThreads() be sufficient? In my opinion, the implementation PreemtiveLock should be discarded and the LockProvider should return an ordinary ReentrantReadWriteLock. Best Regards, /Andreas

[xwiki-devs] gsoc 2012

by Melania Galea

Hi there! My name is Melania Galea and I am a student in Romania. I have worked with OpenNMS for gsoc 2011 on the "Converting OpenNMS to use Hibernate" project. The experience was amazing, I learnt a lot about working on a real-life application inside an open source community. I am a pasionate Java developer who promotes the benevolent sharing of knowledge. As far as my technical experience goes, I enjoy working both on the backend and frontend sides of an application. I have worked with java and many others integrated technologies such as Spring or Hibernate, as well as with several Java-based web frameworks such as Wicket or Spring MVC. I have currently discovered a passion for node.js and javascript as together with my friends I developed a customized IRC application. From the projects you proposed for this year's gsoc, the "Annotations for images and other content types" project was the most appealing to my skills. I would very much enjoy working on this XWiki module. I hope we will work together this summer. Thank you, Melania Galea

[xwiki-devs] Questions about the new Job Module in commons

by Vincent Massol

Hi Devs/Thomas, I've just realized that we now have a new job module in commons…. I don't recall seeing a proposal/vote on this but I may just have missed it. I would like to be sure we have considered existing libraries before deciding to full recode it. I've done a very quick google search and I can see for example: * http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Concurrency/jobs-api.html for example * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8738160/eclipse-jobs-api-for-a-stand-alo… says it can be used standalone Also there are lots of job/scheduling apis at: * http://java-source.net/open-source/job-schedulers I think having our own interface is ok (to be independent of any underlying implementation) but we also have our own implementation now too. Something to consider for example is that right now our Scheduler module uses the Quartz API and when we rewrite it I guess the idea will be to use this new job module, right? Thus I assume we'll need to write a "Quartz bridge" to transform XWiki Job instances into Quartz Job instances so that we can execute them with Quartz. Or maybe the integration would be at a different level, in the Job Manager? In any case I'd like to see a bit more information on this job module and be confident that we have thought about all this and documented it on extensions.xwiki.org. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] GSOC: idea for Basic Workflows

by Chris Tsang

Interestingly, I am now researching in state- oriented- programming. https://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1sh6D3ZZn_C9beAEpp0ccZLkJ5LnimxeqWu… Workflows are best visualized by 'workflow diagrams' as shown by the above linked image. And that diagram corresponds to the following JSON structure: 'article workflow': { 'entry': //reserved name { 'user edits article', }, 'newly edited': { action: { 'request approval from administrators' }, event: { // event : to 'approval received' : 'approved edit' } }, 'approved edit': { action: { 'update articles for public access' }, event: { 'article updated' : 'exit' } } } JSON is an easy to read structure so it is good for the server program to 'run' a workflow. (XML is also okay as it is easy to convert between XML and JSON.) It is also good for implementing a GUI for workflow editing. Plus, JSON is easy to read with a GUI. Just some speculations, we should formalize the whole thing before any work.

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Standardize on Commons Lang EqualsBuilder, HashCodeBuilder and ToStringBuilder

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, I've already sent a proposal for EqualsBuilder and HashCodeBuilder (see http://markmail.org/message/ewbizvcx4zj432il) but only Sergiu answered. So resending as a VOTE and adding ToStringBuilder For ToStringBuilder the idea is to create a XWikiStyle (see https://gist.github.com/2164507 ) And then to use it as in: @Override public String toString() { ToStringBuilder builder = new ToStringBuilder(this, new XWikiStyle()); builder = builder.append("Typed", isTyped()) .append("Type", getType().getScheme()); if (getReference() != null) { builder = builder.append("Reference", getReference()); } if (!getBaseReferences().isEmpty()) { builder = builder.append("Base References", getBaseReferences()); } Map<String, String> params = getParameters(); if (!params.isEmpty()) { builder = builder.append("Parameters", params); } return builder.toString(); } For the record this generates stuff like the following which is based on our current practices: "Typed = [true] Type = [doc] Reference = [reference] Base References = [[baseref1], [baseref2]] Parameters = [[name1] = [value1], [name2] = [value2]]" The rationale for using ToStringBuilder is: * It reduces our boilerplate code by at least 50% * It makes all our toString implementation consistent and easy to write Now all that remains is to decide where to put the XWikiStyle class. Of course it has to go in XWiki Commons somewhere but where? I'm proposing several possibilities: * xwiki-commons-logging (existing module): the rationale would be that the toString() is usually used for logging. The package would be org.xwiki.logging.text. I'm wondering if we should make this class internal too. * xwiki-commons-text (new module): I'm not sure what else we would put in there * xwiki-commons-util (new module): I don't like to have a module with no specific domain but it could be temporary till there are more stuff that make a domain So here's my +1. My only doubt is where to put it. Right now I'd be tempted to put it in xwiki-commons-logging so that we don't create a new module. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] How to use ajax to get xml data returned from xwiki component

by du du

Hi, all, I followed this link: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/WritingComponents created a component which return xml data. Also I created a hellotest page inside the main space, and wrote the following velocity code: {{velocity output='false'}} $response.setContentType('application/xml') #set ($xmldata= $services.hello.getHelloXML()) $xmldata ##$context.setFinished(true) #set ($out = $response.getOutputStream()) $out.write($xmldata) $out.flush() {{/velocity}} I tested this code, I can get the xml data, now I use this ajax code to retrieve the xml data: var xmlhttp = GetXmlHttp(); if (xmlhttp) { xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true); xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () { if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) { xmlResult = xmlhttp.responseText; ...... xmlhttp.send(null); } The url I used is: url = ' http://localhost:8080/xwikim/bin/view/Main/hellotest?outputSyntax=plain' when I debug with firefox to see the data inside xmlhttp either responseText or response, they were all a html document for the hellotest with the tags like body, div, etc, it is basically helltest.html file if you view the source code of this html page. I tried to change the output to true, the result is the same. Question: how can I get the xml data? where am I wrong? Thanks very much in advance. Dave

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Create a xwiki-platform-container-deamon module

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Whenever we create Threads we need to initialize an Execution Context. Here's the code that we need to write in run(): ExecutionContext context = execution.getContext(); if (context == null) { // Create a clean Execution Context context = new ExecutionContext(); try { executionContextManager.initialize(context); } catch (ExecutionContextException e) { throw new RuntimeException("Failed to initialize IRC Bot's execution context", e); } // Bridge with old XWiki Context, required for old code. XWikiContext xwikiContext = stubContextProvider.createStubContext(); context.setProperty(XWikiContext.EXECUTIONCONTEXT_KEY, xwikiContext); execution.pushContext(context); } I'm thus proposing to do this: * Create a xwiki-platform-container-deamon module * Introduce a ContextualizedThread which extends Thread and which adds an initializeExecutionContext() method Thus when we need to create threads we extend ContextualizedThread and in our run() method we start by calling initializeExecutionContext(). Implementation detail: * This new module will depend on xwiki-platform-oldcore since it needs to use XWikiStubContextProvider * This means that this new module cannot be used from within xwiki-platform-oldcore but that should be ok since I don't see why we would need to create threads in there Rationale: * The reason I need this is because I've recoded the code snippet I've put above in the new IRC Bot application and now I'm finding that the Link Checker feature (which uses a Thread) is also missing this and I need to add it there too. Thus we really need to put this code in a common place, hence the suggestion for the new deamon module. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] GSoC 2012 - Interest

by Rauf Butt

Dear Team XWiki, I am very excited to contribute in open source community through the platform of GSoC 2012. Last year, I contributed "Debugger Visualizers" to MonoDevelop which had successfully become a part of Mono Develop. I have seen project ideas for GSoC 2012 at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/WebHome. I am interested in "*Poll/Survey Application*". The reason for my interest is that I have good working experience of HTML, Javascript, Java and related technologies. I also checked out XWiki to start understanding it. My understanding of the requirements is as follows: 1. Create a Poll widget to include within a web page. 2. Show Poll results within the Poll widget. 3. Use AppWithinMinutes XWiki to create surveys. 4. Develop the look and feel of such surveys (GUI). 5. At the end of survey, show the results of survey. Have you got a template for the survey GUI or we need to brain storm on this? What database/file storage would be used to store Poll/Survey results? Your kind feedback would help me in better recognising the core project requirements and develop a good proposal. Regards, Rauf Regent's College London

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Hiding technical content

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, I've been brainstorming with Jean-Vincent about how to implement hiding technical content for 4.0. Here's what we would like to do: Note: This is related to the proposal I made earlier: http://markmail.org/thread/jupn22fdk4nnqj6p In summary: * Add a RoleVisibilityClass XObject to documents and spaces (in WebPreferences for Spaces) which is a list of Roles (simple or advanced users for now) deciding which role should be allowed to view a given document in result sets. * Either modify XWikiHibernateStore or introduce a new FilteredHibernateStore store which would delegate to XWikiHibernateStore (same mechanism as the cache store) to add the JOIN to check the visibility and only return visible documents for the current user * Remove the notion of hidden documents and have a migrator to remove the column in xwikidocs * Modify the Lucene plugin to add a VISIBILITY field and return filtered results based on the visibility and the current user role * Note1: After much brainstorming we think that the notion of "application" could be implemented either with an Application XObject that tie the document to an application or with an Application Descriptor. * Note2: We'll need to decide at some point if we want more roles than just "simple user" and "advanced user" and if we need "developer" and "admin" too. * Notes1 and 2 are currently out of scope for this proposal However we're wondering how much performance we will loose with this implementation using XObjects (due to the extra JOIN). Do you think it's acceptable? Could it be improved with custom mapping? (I think not) Should we implement this without XObjects and instead modify XWikiDocuments and add a new column in xwikidocs? Thanks -Vincent

However, when i run mvn install in the source folder i get the following error: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-tool-packager-plugin:4.0-SNAPSHOT:import (default) on project xwiki-enterprise-database-hsqldb: Execution default of goal org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-tool-packager-plugin:4.0-SNAPSHOT:import failed: Plugin org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-tool-packager-plugin:4.0-SNAPSHOT or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: The following artifacts could not be resolved: org.opensymphony.quartz:quartz:jar:1.6.5, org.suigeneris:jrcs.diff:jar:0.4.2, org.suigeneris:jrcs.rcs:jar:0.4.2, com.google:googleapi:jar:xwiki:UNKNOWN, info.informatica:css4j:jar:0.13, info.informatica:jclf:jar:2.3.0, jtidy:jtidy:jar:8.0-20060801.131059-3-dev, org.codehaus.swizzle:swizzle-confluence:jar:xwiki:1.2-20080419, com.yahoo.platform.yui:yuicompressor:jar:2.4.2-xwiki, edu.emory.mathcs.util:emory-util-classloader:jar:2.1, edu.emory.mathcs.util:emory-util-io:jar:2.1, edu.emory.mathcs.util:emory-util-security:jar:2.1, uk.ac.ed.ph.snuggletex:snuggletex-core:jar:1.1.0, uk.ac.ed.ph.snuggletex:snuggletex-jeuclid:jar:1.1.0, org.infinispan:infinispan-core:jar:5.1.1.FINAL, org.artofsolving.jodconverter:jodconverter-core:jar:3.0-beta-4-xwiki-20110822, org.restlet.jse:org.restlet:jar:2.0.11, org.restlet.jee:org.restlet.ext.servlet:jar:2.0.11, org.restlet.jse:org.restlet.ext.jaxrs:jar:2.0.11: Could not find artifact org.opensymphony.quartz:quartz:jar:1.6.5 in central ( http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

[xwiki-devs] GSoC idea.

by Faryshta

Hi I would like to submit one idea for the GSoC this year. I have lots of experience on front end web development and I see that your generated HTML is somewhat messy. I can help with that. One of your ideas is Any Integration with one or more Major Open Source Tool<http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/AnyIntegrationwithaM…>' and my idea is to implement bootstraps on your code twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ which is a library of styles and presentation. Most web companies can't allow themselves a web designer AND a web developer so they use bootstraps as a way to solve both conflicts. Other idea is to integrate lesscss. What do you think? Thanks for reading.

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Merge the 'feature-annotations-merged-with-comments' branch into 'master'

by Eduard Moraru

Hi devs, As you know from the previous discussion [1], I`ve worked on integrating the work done by Anca to merge Annotations with Comments. I`ve fixed leftover integration problems and finished implementing the migration script. Please have a look at the pull request [2] and cast your vote whether we can merge it into master for 4.0 or not. Here's my +1. Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://markmail.org/thread/gecez5hdh5eci2le [2] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/34/files

[xwiki-devs] Information about GSoc Proposal: Wiki Browser

by Craig Innes

Hi, My name is Craig Innes. I am a 3rd year computing science student at Edinburgh University. I am interested in developing a nautillus-like UI for XWiki as part of the Google Summer of Code. Are there any mentors out there that can give me any more detail about what would be involved in this project? I have a sound knowledge of Java, CSS and HTML (as well as Python and a few other languages). Additionally, what are the things i should be doing before the applications open to get a feel for what to do/the subjects that i will need to learn? Cheers, Craig
