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", "[email protected]"); 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 Btw: Congrats to RC1, you've all been probably quite busy theese days. Great work!
