Hi chaps, I am prepared to fix the Oracle port. However, I cannot connect an svn client at work due to our network security policy. Can you package the latest stable source for me to work on? Many thanks. Ed

Windows default install fails to start
by Shawn Lauzon 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hey guys -- I just grabbed the Windows .exe for rc4 to try it out quick, and noticed that it doesn't work out of the box. When I start it, I get this failure: 19:08:46.125 WARN!! [main] org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.WebApplicationContext.doStart(WebApplicationContext.java:519) >12> Configuration error on file:/C:/Program%20Files/XWiki/xwikionjetty/webapps/xwiki/ org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.DVFactoryException: DTD factory class org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.dtd.DTDDVFactoryImpl does not extend from DTDDVFactory. at org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.DTDDVFactory.getInstance(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.DTDDVFactory.getInstance(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.opti.SchemaParsingConfig.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.opti.SchemaParsingConfig.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.traversers.XSDHandler.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.traversers.XSDHandler.<init>(Unknown Source) ... I figured out that I needed to delete the xerces jar file from our lib directory, and after I did that it worked. But this is not at all obvious, and really for something that is stated "Should be used by first-time users.", it'll leave a very bad impression. I would just add it to the Instructions, but I'm not sure if that is good enough. Would it make sense to modify the build script to delete the xerces jar file when creating the Windows exe? shawn.

JDK1.6 and why xwiki needs XWikiJDBCConnection?
by Artem Melentyev 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hello. I would like the xwiki 1.0 release be able to compile/run on Java 1.6. Many users already use java 1.6. I see only one problem: XWikiJDBCConnection class. http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-974 As I see, info from this class is not used in xwiki core. Main question: Why xwiki needs XWikiJDBCConnection? If it is not needed, we can easily remove it by patch http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/attachment/10939/noXWikiJDBCConnection.pa… If it is needed, I can rewrite XWikiJDBCConnection using java reflections. -- Artem Melentyev, UralSU, CS401

Hi, Vincent, you asked me to discuss about this doc in the mailing list. This doc concentrates on complete setup guide for a newbie user (admin).

[Proposal] Reorganizing JIRA projects
by Vincent Massol 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi, We need to organize a bit better the different JIRA projects. Right now there are: - XWiki - XWiki Applications - XWiki Clients We need to clean the XWiki Applications and XWiki Clients projects. For this we need to define a strategy for where to put xwiki plugins, applications, etc. Here are some facts: * A JIRA project has the same versions for all components. This means one JIRA project per release lifecycle. And here's my proposal in term of JIRA projects: * "XWiki": - We put everything here that is tied to the XWiki Core release (1.0 RC2, 1.1 B1, etc). Right now there are several plugins that are still tied to the XWiki release (all the core plugins). So they should go in there for now. When we'll move out the plugins later on, we will then move their JIRA issues. * "XWiki Applications": - We remove this JIRA project * "XWiki Default Wiki": - We create this new JIRA project. Corresponds to xwiki- applications/wikis/default. - We move all issues from current XWiki JIRA project that have a "Default Wiki" component to it. - We define a version scheme for it. I propose to use the same versions as for XWiki core for now. But in the future it'll be possible to release the default wiki independently of XWiki Core. - We create components for the various XWiki applications that we haven't separated from the xwiki-applications/wikis/default yet (i.e. all except the Panels which has been moved out) * "XWiki Panels Application": - We create this JIRA project. Corresponds to xwiki-applications/ xarlets/panels - We define a version scheme for it. I propose to use the same versions as for XWiki core for now. But in the future it'll be possible to release the default wiki independently of XWiki Core. - We release the panels application on the forge instead of just releasing it as an attachment to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ Code/PanelsApplication. We'll continue to reference the download from that page but it'll point to OW's forge. We ensure it's also referenced from the main Download page on xwiki.org * "XWiki Selenium Application": - We create this JIRA project. Corresponds to xwiki-applications/ xarlets/selenium - We define a version scheme for it. I propose to start at 0.1 as it's still early stuff - Release it as 0.1 on the forge and, as above, modify xwiki.org to point to it (from the code zone). * "XWiki <plugin name> Plugin": - Where <plugin name> is: "Adwords", "Alexa", "Email Notification", "IP Resolver", "Laszlo", "Task Manager", "Terraserver" - The strategy is that once a plugin is moved out of the core to the xwiki-plugins/ dir, we create a JIRA project for it - We define a version scheme for them. I propose to start at 0.1 as we haven't released them yet. We shouldn't release any of them until we've tested it works with the latest version of XWiki Core. * "XWiki Clients": - We remove this JIRA project and move all current clients to the sandbox. Namely they are: "foxwiki", "anyedit", "p2pxwiki", "wiked" Others: * I'm not entirely sure what to do with these projects in xwiki- tools: build tools, package and cryptpasswords. * I think they're too small and not well-defined enough to warrant a JIRA project each. I'm proposing to create a Tools component in the main XWiki JIRA project for now to see how they develop in the future. WDYT? If you're ok I'm proposing to do the reorganization work. Thanks -Vincent

Problem with new comment on save feature
by Vincent Massol 11 May '07

11 May '07

Hi, 1) In trunk, it's not possible to save without entering a comment. I think this should be optional. 2) When clicking on save with no comment there's a dialog box that pops up that asks for a comment but it's not possible to cancel it even though there's a cancel button Thanks -Vincent

RE: [xwiki-dev] xwiki dev ideas
by Gurnani, Anil 11 May '07

Thanks to everyone. I got some great ideas for xwiki projects. I will go back and digest them and pick one that I really like (right now - I like them all - that's why it's hard to pick just one :-) Thanks again Anil *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. ***********************************************************************

Save user input
by evelyne24＠gmail.com 11 May '07

11 May '07

Well, thank you for the responses on my previous posts. Another "difficult" question (for me :( )... Here is the code: #foreach($obj in $doc.getObjects("Movr.MediaHasPersonClass")) #if($context.action=='view') #set($personObj= $xwiki.getDocument($obj.getProperty('person').value).getObject("Movr.PersonClass")) ##link to person's page #set($personURL = $xwiki.getURL("$obj.getProperty('person').value")) <a href="$personURL">$personObj.firstName $personObj.lastName</a> #else ###inline ##ajax input suggest <input id="inputSuggest$velocityCount" name="inputSuggest" alt="Suggestions" type="text" /> $obj.person The question is the following one: I have an Ajax input suggest (which works just fine, it retrieves from the database the information I need), which is suppose to help me add another object of type PersonClass, by selecting from the ones that are already in the database. My class MediaHasPersonClass has a field person, of type DatabaseList, which initially had attached a Hibernate query to retrieve all the persons from the database and display them in a select. Now, I'm using this Ajax suggest so I would like to somehow tell xwiki that the person whom I selected from the suggest is the correspondent object (for instance, if I write $obj.person I get an xwiki rendered input with the name of a person from the database, and if I change the name and save it, the modifications will be kept). I would like to know how can I do that for my own input. I hope I explained somehow what I would like to know... Thanks. Evelina

Problem
by evelyne24＠gmail.com 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hello all, I wrote a post on xwiki-users this morning, because someone told me there is where the questions about "how to" are supposed to go, but nobody answered (and I figured it out by myself, with the help of Sergiu) so I'll try my luck here, as I really need some help. In a velocity script I receive a request and I take the value with #set($input =$request.get("param")). My question is, how can I apply string transformations (i.e to lowercase, split the string etc) to this variable($input) in velocity? I looked everywhere but I guess I miss something. Please help! Thank you, Evelina Slatineanu
