Hi everyone. I'm looking for a programmatic way to
generate XWiki pages
that include objects.
I have looked at generating XAR files for import, but am wondering if
there are other ways to generate pages from code with no user
interaction. Any pointers would be appreciated.
You can either use the public API [1] to create documents, directly from
inside the wiki in a velocity (or groovy, python) script.
You can also use a remote access protocol to push new documents, via
REST [2], which is the most complete API, or XmlRpc [3] or WebDAV [4].
If you have more complex needs, like importing from external data
sources, you can even write a Java component [5] that uses the internal
XWiki services plus any other libraries you need to create and store new
documents.
