Hi XWiki devs,
At Mandriva we have the need for a class property type that would be
able to handle dynamic lists. Well, the DBList properties are already
dynamic, but we'd need something more dynamic.
Usage examples:
* apply some filter to a list of results fetched from the database,
* translate the DBList values returned by a SQL query before presenting
them to the user
* build lists from other sources than the database (from a web service
call etc.)
Such lists would be built by a Velocity or Groovy script, declared as an
attribute of the class property. What do you think of the feature? Do
you have any suggestion on the way it should be implemented? We could
either create a new Java type "DynamicList" + new wiki table
xwikidynlistclasses, inspired by the "DBList" Java type, or transform
the DBList into a "DynamicList" that would handle either Hibernate SQL
queries, or Velocity/Groovy scripts. That would be handy also to have
the possibility to specify the name of the document containing the
script to be executed, if the script is to be reused by several classes.

Hello,
Has anyone here had experience developing a JXTA or Eclipse RCP application?
I have a few questions:
JXTA and other protocols:
Is there anyway to autoconfigure during the first launch of a
JXTA-enabled program instead of showing the user the configurator?
(start with default settings and put the configurator into a settings
menu?)
Is Rendezvous in JXTA the same as Apple's Bonjour (formerly known as
Rendezvous) ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_%28protocol%29
Eclipse RCP:
What constraints are there to developing Eclipse plugins as opposued
to raw Java applications?
If my application is based on a Model-View-Controller pattern, can I
simply develop the model for my application, and then later develop an
RCP plugin for the View/Controller?
Thanks for any help,
Kevin Chiu
Hi Xavier,
I just wanted to let you know that we have a couple of conference projects
and I would be interested in discussing / working in this area with you and
any other interested users and developers. I am working with a small team to
build an event wiki for Connexions which will take place in October and I am
porting and extending some networking features that allow organisers to
match conference attendants and experts among themselves. I started writing
the user stories for this (in French), we could share and discuss them if
you are interested.
Luis.

This is probably best in the developers list. Maybe Alexis can give you a
hand with this. From what I know the user documents *do* have to exist in
the wiki. But I'm afraid I don't know enough to point about the LDAP
implementation to point you out in the right direction...

Subject: [xwiki-users] Question about authentication
To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org
I'd like to be able to use XWiki with an alternate source for user
authentication and I thought creating my own auth service might do the
trick. However, on further thought, I'm not sure how this would work -
doesn't the XWiki user document still need to exist as a place to store
user settings (e.g email notification plugin stores an object there)? I
dug around a bit in the LDAP service code, and don't see anywhere where
it creates the xwiki user document, so I'm wondering what I'm missing.
I was thinking that maybe it should should auth the user then create the
user doc if it doesn't already exist. I guess the code/pages I have
that register that user could also send a message to xwiki to create the
user, but for LDAP user management clients that may not be possible, so
I must be missing something.
Is there a better way to do auth that I don't know about? Our user data
is in a set of DB tables.
Thanks,
Matt

I'm currently trying to create a survey feature :
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Polls
Currently, it works without complete translation and a painful piece of
code :
http://club-beta.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/Survey/SatisfactionSurvey
I'm facing somes problems :
- Translatable property value doesn't exists, useful for ListClass
properties.
- Separated label and value in select (ListClass).
- No getBooleanValue method in BaseCollection.
Not real problems :
- Lack of documentation. At least commented XWiki API Documentation
could be really helpful.
- 'Turns You Crazy' API : The difference between Document and
XWikiDocument is thin but crucial, same with Class and BaseClass and
many others. It's sometimes killing simplicity in the name of
abstraction : doc.getxWikiClass().getXWikiClass().getFieldList()
So if you could help or give me any hints/advice to add this feature in
xwiki, or if an more easy/universal way to add this feature in xwiki
exists, tell me.
Best regards,
Tim

Hi,
I've just tried Jeremi's packaging
(http://www.xwiki.org/releases/xwiki/xwiki-package-jetty-0-9-840.zip).
Well done! This is great and make it very simple to try out XWiki. It's very
cool :-)
Some small comments:
1/ Remove xwiki.log that should not be there before starting xwiki
2/ What's the difference between ext, lib and extra/lib?
3/ There are licenses in both etc/ and license/ directories. Maybe they
could be regrouped together?
4/ In webapps/ there's a index.html~ file that should be deleted
5/ It didn't work when I executed start.bat (see attached log). I had to
manually create the logs/ directory.
6/ http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ points to a page with a link to the wiki. It
should point directly to the wiki. Actually http://localhost:8080 should
point to the wiki IMO.
Again those are all very minor. This is a great install.

Hi all,
just working with XML/RPC interface, namely the renderContent(String token, String spaceKey, String pageId, String content) method. The documentation (on confluence site) says: "If 'content' is provided, then that is rendered as if it were the body of the page (useful for a 'preview page' function)". I expect the method returns valid and complete HTML code as is returned during "preview" of wiki pages.
Is this expectation correct?
Unfortunatelly, the code returned does not seem to be complete and valid HTML, there are <html> and other formal elements missing (this is a minor problem). The major problem is, that the code does not refer to any stylesheet; the page is rendered in "default" style, where tables has no borders etc.
Any hints?
Thanks,
~sp
Hi,
Thierry Grandsart is an intern working on ergonomics for XWiki. He has
been working on studying the different wikis and making some
recommandations on the XWiki interface.
We'd like to include you in giving us feedback about his proposals and
particpating in the discussion around them.
He has started publishing a first sketch of a new interface proposal for
XWiki at
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Ergonomics
Other proposals will follow and will be put up to discussion..
Don't hesitate to comment on the XWiki document or in the JIRA task at

Whether use of non-English _names_ of documents is possible?
I have made all that is written in
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/CharactersSets
But Russian names of documents displays incorrectly. On zh.objectweb.org
too.
From a code I have understood, it of that request.getPathInfo and
getParametr (for parameters in uri) are not decoded in utf.
It so, or I have incorrectly setup xwiki?
(or it is servlet api bug?)
I set SetCharacterEncodingFilter off by add ignore=false and rewrite
XWikiServletRequest.get, getPathInfo, getParameter to decode from
ISO-8859-1 tо UTF-8
Names now working fine, but i found next problem:
when i click on new,unedited link [newlink], open edit form. In this
form field "Parent" fills not decoded.
PrepareEditForm.setParent called 2 times, first call is decoded (from
PrepareEditForm.reset), second - not decoded (from beenutils).
Main questions:
1 That second PrepareEditForm.setParent call for?
2 Why it is not decoded?
3 How i may decode it?
Now i`m decode in setParent. This is bad idea, but works..
Soon i will open http://usunet.ru/wiki/ - Ural State University XWiki.

Gentoo Linux, LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8"

Right.. It's a good time to regenerate some API docs.. I'll try to make
a pass this week on documenting a little the API and then regenerate
some documentations..
Actually you should post this to xwiki-dev as it is of interest to the
whole developer community and not only the Summer of Code students..
Anybody knows good documentation tools besides javadoc to show an API..

Well, I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I just burrowed ahead and did
manage to [files attached]:
a. Add
b. Retrieve
c. Delete
a Page via the implementation that is available in the
most-current release of XWiki.
The bad news is:
a. The delete function was not, in fact completely
engineered/tested, but the work-around was
trivial, so I just fixed it in my local version.
b. The methods that are designed for solving your
problem, however:
i. getUser,
ii. addUser,
iii. addGroup,
iv. getUserGroups,
v. addUserToGroup
have not yet been coded.
So, in order to have the benefits of an xmlrpc-based
implementation, you'll need to get the development
team to complete the Confluence emulation code.
Since they already have a zillion items in their
backlog, you might find a quicker solution by pulling
the pieces out of Mr. Lauriere's 'extended profiles',
and using that as the basis for your import.
Terry
P.S.
I'm still very willing to go the 'extra mile' to build the
attached into a capability for you [and others], but
grepping through the code to discover how the API
handles the necessary Hibernate mapping to the
XWiki-proprietary database schema is not exactly the
way my granddaughter expects me to entertain her
during the dog days of her summer vacation. You might
spend some time looking at what the implementation of
'Add User', 'Add Group' and 'Add User To Group'
functionality appears to be, and maybe it will prove
to be just a few hours of code and test to insert those
method invocations into the corresponding methods of
com.xpn.xwiki.xmlrpc.ConfluenceRpcHandler.

Like I've said in a previous message on the xwiki dev list, I have not

the Photo Album Class is in /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/PhotoAlbumClass

Hi,
I've added another proposed feature + some work implementing it at
following URL:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Improved+XWikiMessageTool+for+manag…
The idea is to use a Document for storing i18n resources instead of
static files, so that they can be edited online and in a collaborative
manner, and have their keys synchronized when the master document is
updated. The proposal is also to use the "GNU Portable Object" format
(PO) instead of properties file format, as it is widely used for
translating software messages. There is however an interface that allows
for implementing the tool for any format.

Hi all,
I've updated the XWiki Roadmap to 1.0RC1, then RC2, then XWiki 1.0.
There is currently 101 tasks open.
If you think some are missing either complain or add the task. It's not
clear how we will make the schedule work but at least we have a plan.

Has anybody tried using <iframe> in a wiki page? The page renders ok but the
Menu and Toolbar does not appear. However if you view the html source, the
Menu and Toolbar html content is there.
Any ideas?
Duke
Hi Jie,
Thanks for your email.
For XWiki the way I would do it:
- Have the FAQBot hosted on a wiki page. This page would have a text input
field for letting users enter queries and it would list answers on the page.
We should also provide other interfaces like IRC/chat/mailing list.
- Have some macros that can be used in the same manner as the {excerpt}
macro is used by Confluence. One macro would be used to designate a
question, another one for an answer and yet another one for a srai.
- Have some pages that are AIML sets. Mark them using a XWiki object class
and load them when the FAQBot page is loaded.
- Create on the fly AIML sets by aggregating all information scattered in
the different pages (using the macros)
About the reinforcement. It could be done by different ways. One idea:
- On the FAQ bot page we could have a "teach" button where we would ask the
user to enter his question and the answer he would have liked.
- All these user questions/answers will be added automatically to a User
AIML set (a xwiki page containing AIML). This AIML set will also be loaded
by the FAQBot page (same as the other AIML sets).
- Whenever this user AIML set page is changed a diff email will be sent to
the XWiki dev mailing list. The idea is that XWiki community will provide
oversight about new questions/answers. The reason for the oversight is
double:
- to verify users do not enter stupid questions/answers
- to possibly refactor the existing AIML sets or pages containing custom
tags by removing the user-entered information and placing it where it is
more appropriate.
Again, all this should be packaged as a XWiki application. Jeremi Joslin
should be able to help you about the format (he's the one who's created the
notion of XWiki applications).
Last, we need to start deciding on the project directory structure in SVN.
Could you please come up with a proposal? Also, we're doing a generic FAQBot
so I'd like it to remain as separate from XWiki as possible. The generic
part and the XWiki specific ones should be cleanly separated in this
directory structure. Could you please come up with an architecture diagram
fro this?
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: I'm cc-ing the xwiki-dev mailing list. They may have some
ideas/remarks/feedback.
PPS: I'd need a formal updated proposition from you listing deliverables and
planning so that we're clean WRT Google. Including the architecture diagram
in the proposal would be nice.
