Hi Dumitriu,
I tried the REST approach, as you depicted
This approach seems to be OK. But you can also use a
REST approach,
meaning that you learn how does the registration form work, then create
a fake request (GET or POST, which one is easier). If registration is
not public, then you also need to send some authentication tokens
(cookies).
I use the common httpclient to imitate a users behavior.
I can succesfully login as a user, doing a PostMethod with
"/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin"
This is not what a users sees in his browsers adress bar, but what
appears in the form in the html source.
But, calling the registration page
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/register/XWiki/Register ,
setting the parameters to a new request (on the same httpclient object)
PostMethod registerMethod = new PostMethod(registerUrl);
loginPost.addParameter("template", "XWiki.XWikiUserTemplate");
loginPost.addParameter("register", "1");
loginPost.addParameter("register_first_name", "");
loginPost.addParameter("register_last_name", "");
loginPost.addParameter("register2_password", "875656");
loginPost.addParameter("register_password", "875656");
loginPost.addParameter("register_email", "gzt6(a)web.de").de");
loginPost.addParameter("xwikiname", "horatio");
loginPost.addParameter("submit", "register");
loginPost.addParameter("Register", "1");
does not work.
Why is that so?
Examining the source, i was wondering, why there is no action in the
html form:
<form id="register" name="register" action=""
action="" method="post">
What is the reason for that?
What is the URL i have to set to a PostMethod?
And: Why does the action attribute appear twice in the form?
Yours
Thomas
