Hi devs,
I’d like that we retire the XMLRPC feature of XWiki.
Rationale:
* We now have a REST API
* The XMLRPC API is pretty old now, doesn’t support Nested Spaces, see
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-1249
The idea would be to:
* Step 1: Relocate the code in an optional module (in addition to or inside one of the
existing xmlrpc modules). This means handling some code currently in oldcore + update
web.xml
* Step 2: Move the optional xmlrpc modules to the github contrib organization
* Step 3: Update documentation on
xwiki.org and add an entry on e.x.o (move doc from
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC in it).
Note that this will mean that XOffice will require users to install XMLRPC first if they
want to try using it. Not a problem IMO. It’s also possible that the same will apply to
XEclipse (or not) as I don’t remember if we had moved the code to use REST or not.
WDYT?
Here’s my +1
Thanks
