[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] new "/plain/" and "/feed/" actions mapped to plain.vm template
by Jerome Velociter 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hello devs, Yesterday I've applied Marius's XWIKI-2149 patch "Extend the FeedPlugin to allow the creation of RSS/Atom feeds from any source". New RSS urls with this revamped mechanism are of the type "/xwiki/bin/view/Space/DocRss?xpage=plain" (while the current way is /xwiki/bin/view/Space/DocRss?xpage=rdf"). I propose we add an action that return the "plain.vm" velocity template as entry point to render the document, and map a new "/feed/" action to it. This would allow us for example to have a blog feed URL like this : "/xwiki/bin/feed/Main/BlogRss" when the blog will actually use this new mechanism for its feed. I would also like to map an action with a more generic name to it, like "/plain/". "xpage=plain" is for example used when we create pseudo-REST web services (for example, all the AJAX/gridview features in XE do use URLs of that type). I believe it would be nice to have in the service request URL only parameters linked to the actual service. Thus I would propose we have something like "/xwiki/bin/plain/XWiki/MyService?myparam1=myvalue&..." I am +1 for doing this, WDYT ? Now, I have a working version of this on my computer, but I'm not very happy how it is done. basically, I followed the way the "attach" action works : I added a PlainAction in com.xpn.xwiki.web that just returns "plain" on render, and added the following action in struts-config action mappings : <action path="/feed/" type="com.xpn.xwiki.web.PlainAction" name="feed" scope="request"> <forward name="feed" path="/templates/plain.vm"/> </action> Is there a nicer way of doing this with struts ? (At first, I tried to use "global-forwards" like <forward name="feed" path="/templates/plain.vm"/>, but without success.) Thanks, Jerome.

by rssh 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Good day. Now exist problem with default build of sources from repository: we have invalid xwiki-core-1.5-SNAPSHOT.jar (which breaks default build, becouse skinx require such snapshot) (i, e. jar -tf /home/rssh/.m2/repository/com/xpn/xwiki/platform/xwiki-core/1.5-SNAPSHOT/xwiki-core-1.5-SNAPSHOT.jar show something like: com/xpn/xwiki/pref/api/XWikiPrefService.class com/xpn/xwiki/pref/impl/xwiki/XWikiPrefServiceImpl.class com/xpn/xwiki/XWikiCompatibilityAspect.class java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid stored block lengths at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(InflaterInputStream.java:164) at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.read(ZipInputStream.java:163) at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.closeEntry(ZipInputStream.java:109) at sun.tools.jar.Main.list(Main.java:885) at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:230) at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:1044) [rssh@localhost skinx]$ P.S. java is OpenJDK -- Ruslan Shevchenko GradSoft. http://www.gradsoft.ua

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC]Daily report
by malaka ekanayake 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hi Fabio, Yesterday I mainly look at how the velocity scripting use in the xwiki pages. Velocity scripting can be used mix with the xwiki script.But then there has to be a way to separate the velocity scripts from other syntax.Such as to a separate partition.since every velocity script starts with # I'm thinking of using that to separate from the rest of the syntax. At the moment the current editor identify macros (#info,#warning) as separate partitions () .But since they are also velocity macros they should also move to the velocity partition as well. According to my findings Thus there will be no problem of separating all the velocity syntax from the rest of by looking at the # character at the start of the line WDUT of that. Is this correct. Then I can start by moving all the macros to a separate partition -- Malaka Ekanayake CSE UOM

[xwiki-devs] Bug in MyFormAuthenticator? How should securityfilter work?
by Markus Lanthaler 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hi, I think I found a bug in MyFormAuthenticator. In line 147 remember me is set to "false" if it is not checked on the login page: rememberme = (rememberme == null) ? "false" : rememberme; But the method processLogin() expects it to be NULL if the user doesn't want to use the remember feature (line 178-187): if (this.persistentLoginManager != null) { // did the user request that their login be persistent? if (rememberme != null) { // remember login this.persistentLoginManager.rememberLogin(request, response, username, password); } else { // forget login this.persistentLoginManager.forgetLogin(request, response); } } The problem is that if I fix this bug by removing line 147 the login process doesn't work anymore! I discovered this while I was implementing OpenID authentication support. I tried to debug it now two days but I didn't succed. The same problem occurs with my OpenID implementation. I'm need to tell XWiki that user xy was logged in and tried to do that by setting the user principal in the request object request.setUserPrincipal(principal); but it doesn't work. Is there some documentation about securityfilter available somewhere? I looked on securityfilter.sourceforge.net and googled for it but I didn't found anything. My next question is how I can add a "openid_identifier" property to the XWikiUsers class as a "XClass" as proposed by Sergiu: > I wouldn't add a new property to the XWikiUsers class; this leads to very > thick classes, like > XWikiPreferences, with properties used only in specific cases. I'd rather > add a new XClass, for > example XWiki.OpenIdAccount, and user profiles will have this kind of > objects attached. I didn't found any information on that. How is that done? How can I then search for the user with a specific OpenID identifier? Thank you very much, Markus

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] [WEBDAV] Test of the current version
by Ludovic Dubost 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

I've tested the current version of the webdav prototype with the changes from today (r313). I've been able to navigate the webdav directories with DAVExplorer, Mac Folders, Windows XP Web Folders. I was able to view content with all of these webdav clients. Windows XP opened everything in Internet Explorer (wiki.txt and images). With DavExplorer I was able to get wiki.txt on my mac desktop, modify it and publish it again. With Mac Folders I was able to directly open wiki.txt in my desktop application. But I was not able to save it back (I get a first message saying it has been modified on the server to which I say "ok save anyway" and then I get an error. I did a drag and drop of a modified wiki.txt which gave no error but did not modify the document. With Windows XP I was not able to open wiki.txt from notepad. I got an error when choosing the wiki.txt file. I was not able to drag and drop a modified wiki.txt either. Compatibility is going to be the number 1 problem !
