Subject: Re: [xwiki-devs] Macro requiring js/css

You don't need to do that.
There is a plugin that allows to include links to local JS files, which
from Velocity would be called as:
$xwiki.jsfx.use('/js/jquery/jquery.js'), provided that the file is
located in <webapproot>/resources/js/jquery/jquery.js
Now, going through velocity is an unneeded detour, since velocity code
goes back to Java through parsing and reflexion. The only problem is
that there is no (easy and clean) way to get hold of a reference to the
plugin, since rendering is in the new, "2.0" component world, while the
plugin is in the old monolithic world. I've been planning to
reimplement
the skin extensions as components for a while, but since it wasn't a
priority, it isn't done yet.
So, there are 2 solutions:
1. Make your macro depend on the xwiki-core and xwiki-plugin-skinx
modules, then get a reference to the XWiki object from the execution
context, then call getPlugin("jsfx") and call use("") on it.
This sound like a good approach. How might I get the XWiki object from the execution
context. I see a macro is passed in a context but I don't see anything in it that
looks like I could get an XWiki object from. Looks like I'll need an XWikiContext as
well to call use(). Is this available from the macro execute callback?
I had a similar open question about how to get a XWiki object from an HttpServlet but in
that case there is not any rendering going on.
I wonder if we're looking at the wrong solution. In this case I want
to
include a javascript resource file such as jQuery.js so what I
really want is to specify a script tag to be added to the header rather
than an embedded javascript extension object content.
I suppose I could look at the jsx extension code to see how this is
done as it is
clearly doing this somehow?
2. Manually inject the file in the list of pulled
extension,
duplicating
the code from AbstractSkinExtensionPlugin#getPulledResources
(see
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/xwiki-
plugins/trunk/skinx/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/plugin/skinx/AbstractSk
inExtensionPlugin.java
) which means: from the execution context, get the xwiki context as a
Map, from which you should get the value from
"com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.skinx.JsSkinFileExtensionPlugin" (cast as a Set)
and add "js/jquery/jquery.js" to it.
