Hi there!
We are trying to use XWiki 3.0 enterprise, trying to create via XML-RPC
thousands of users, groups and membership programmatically so we can
keep updated AD, Liferay, other sources of users, other apps, all with
CAS integration, etc.
As there is still no confluence 2.0 API compatibility but we need to
create users & groups in XWiki from an external software, we have been
collecting pieces of code from messages and FAQs about how to implement
it.
We try to create users, their pages, and add them to the XWikiAllGroup
with :
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("username01");
page.setId("XWiki.username01");
page.setContent("{{include
document=\"XWiki.XWikiUserSheet\"/}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject();
xobj.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiUsers");
xobj.setPageId("XWiki.username01");
xobj.setProperty("first_name", "name");
xobj.setProperty("last_name", "last
name");
xobj.setProperty("email",
"email(a)email.com")com");
xobj.setProperty("password","##########");
rpc.storeObject(xobj);
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
(Suppose we run that with username01 to username99)
Although first time we run this, the page gets created, the user gets
created but the properties not! :-o
If we run again the import, then every user gets their properties. :-?
Then, only the LAST user created gets correctly added to
XWiki.XWikiAllGroup. If we stop/debug the program between each user
creation process, always the last one appears at XWiki.XWikiAllGroup
when checking via UI. So they are all there for a moment, until they are
replaced by the last one. Like if the rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp) deleted
previously any other user in that XWiki.XWikiAllGroup page.
Then we try to create groups using this:
// create group 01
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group01");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
// create group 02
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group02");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
...
Those "Groups" get created as Pages with XWikiGroupSheet app that allows
us to see/edit the users via UI, but we need to add them via XML-RPC.
ALSO, they are Pages, but they are NOT EXACTLY the same as if they where
created via the Admin UI, where when you create a "Group" it shows
slightly differently:
Autocreated via XML-RPC:
Versus when a group is created via Admin UI, it shows up differently,
just like this:
SO, we suppose the way we create a Group via XML-RPC (just a Page with a
special Sheet) is NOT ENOUGH.
And finally we try to add existing users to newly created groups with
code like this:
// user 01 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new
XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 01 to group 02
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new
XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group02");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 02 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new
XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 03 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new
XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
...
If now we check the group via UI, we can find Pages named XWiki.group01
, XWiki.group02, and with only one user each (although in the code up
there username 01, 02 and 03 should be members of group01 !!! only THE
LAST ONE (username03) remains.
Also we tried to add also some users to the default (pre-created)
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup so they can act as administrators:
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new
XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new
XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
As before only XWiki.username02 stays as member of
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup.
We tried this with a fresh install of XWikiEnt3.0+Jetty+HSQLDB, then in
Tomcat+MySQL, same problem in all of them.
So, are we doing something wrong? Maybe something must be done with
every user or group before you can add membership via XML-RPC?
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention that when we try to add the admins via XML-RPC to XWikiAdminGroup,
(example code below) which previously had only the user Administrator (admin) as member,
only the FIRST user gets added and the Administrator gets kicked out, so every other
XML-RPC operation we try does fail, as we get this Exception:
org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: Failed to invoke method storeObject in class
com.xpn.xwiki.xmlrpc.XWikiXmlRpcApiImpl: [Page 'XWiki.ti' cannot be accessed]
This is perfectly normal, as our code logs into XML-RPC using the "admin" user
and suddenly it is not part of XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup :)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Bernardo,
First thing to say here... if you have the choice, don`t use XML-RPC
(not that well maintained) and use REST (better supported, the way to
go) instead.
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI for
REST API reference.
Read below for another small mention...

You also need to set the page's parent if you want the breadcrumbs to

Each document can have multiple objects, and each individual object is
identified by an object number. If you don't set an object number, then
it is considered to be the first one. What happens is that you always
set the information in the first object of the document. I'm not that
familiar with the XmlRpc implementation, but I think you should use setId()

Hi Bernardo,
As Eduard said the REST API is newer and has a better traction, though it
doesn't match the entire XML-RPC functionality(eg: syntax conversion).
Your use case is typical for some RPC style automation and our API should
work just fine.
Regarding your issue:
The XWikiObject entities also have an "id" property which identifies them in
a document. Incrementing that property should prevent the storeObject(..)
code from overriding the previous objects(group members).
I didn't test the java client for the xml-rpc, but I doubt there's something
wrong with it.
To see a more clear representation of the model you could check these
sources(.net mapping):
-

Hope this helps,

xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
(Suppose we run that with username01 to username99)
Although first time we run this, the page gets created, the user gets
created but the properties not! :-o
If we run again the import, then every user gets their properties. :-?
Then, only the LAST user created gets correctly added to
XWiki.XWikiAllGroup. If we stop/debug the program between each user
creation process, always the last one appears at XWiki.XWikiAllGroup
when checking via UI. So they are all there for a moment, until they
are replaced by the last one. Like if the rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp)
deleted previously any other user in that XWiki.XWikiAllGroup page.
Then we try to create groups using this:
// create group 01
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group01");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
// create group 02
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group02");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
...
Those "Groups" get created as Pages with XWikiGroupSheet app that
allows us to see/edit the users via UI, but we need to add them via
XML-RPC.
ALSO, they are Pages, but they are NOT EXACTLY the same as if they
where created via the Admin UI, where when you create a "Group" it
shows slightly differently:
Autocreated via XML-RPC:
[cid:image001.png@01CC2C45.659F3540]
Versus when a group is created via Admin UI, it shows up differently,
just like this:
[cid:image002.png@01CC2C45.659F3540]
SO, we suppose the way we create a Group via XML-RPC (just a Page with
a special Sheet) is NOT ENOUGH.
And finally we try to add existing users to newly created groups with
code like this:
// user 01 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 01 to group 02
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group02");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 02 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 03 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
...
If now we check the group via UI, we can find Pages named
XWiki.group01 , XWiki.group02, and with only one user each (although
in the code up there username 01, 02 and 03 should be members of
group01 !!! only THE LAST ONE (username03) remains.
Also we tried to add also some users to the default (pre-created)
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup so they can act as administrators:
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
As before only XWiki.username02 stays as member of
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup.
We tried this with a fresh install of XWikiEnt3.0+Jetty+HSQLDB, then
in Tomcat+MySQL, same problem in all of them.
So, are we doing something wrong? Maybe something must be done with
every user or group before you can add membership via XML-RPC?
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

Asunto: Re: [xwiki-devs] creating groups via XML-RPC
Hi Bernardo,
As Eduard said the REST API is newer and has a better traction, though it
doesn't match the entire XML-RPC functionality(eg: syntax conversion).
Your use case is typical for some RPC style automation and our API should
work just fine.
Regarding your issue:
The XWikiObject entities also have an "id" property which identifies them in
a document. Incrementing that property should prevent the storeObject(..)
code from overriding the previous objects(group members).
I didn't test the java client for the xml-rpc, but I doubt there's something
wrong with it.
To see a more clear representation of the model you could check these
sources(.net mapping):

Hope this helps,

Hi there!
We are trying to use XWiki 3.0 enterprise, trying to create via
XML-RPC thousands of users, groups and membership programmatically so
we can keep updated AD, Liferay, other sources of users, other apps,
all with CAS integration, etc.
As there is still no confluence 2.0 API compatibility but we need to
create users & groups in XWiki from an external software, we have been
collecting pieces of code from messages and FAQs about how to
implement it.
We try to create users, their pages, and add them to the XWikiAllGroup
with :
Page page = new Page();

rpc.storePage(page);
XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject();

OK, following you suggestions I changed a couple of things; first of all, added a parent
to each new page...
page.setParentId("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
to each new group; with that there seems to be no difference between a group created via
UI vs a group created via XML-RPC
also to user pages with...
page.setParentId("XWiki.XWikiUsers");
that solved one of my questions...
Then I tried using a different Id (an integer) for each XWikiObject used for membership.
That allowed me to add all the users so as you said, now they won't be overwriting the
same one.
(BTW the example for creating users in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPCJavaExamples is wrong as it would
overwrite always the last user added with the same code in the Group XWikiAllGroup)
BUT, what I see now is that if I DO TRY to overwrite an user using the same Id, they
won't overwrite the same user.
I mean, if I do the following:
// add a member
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setId(1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","username1");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// again, same member (sounds stupid, don't you think?)
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setId(1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","username1");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
What I get is TWO membership objects for "username1" in the same Group page. I
thought I would overwrite the first one with the second.
Maybe you think "this guy is nuts, now he complains they're not overwriting each
other..." :) but my code is not like above, of course; but it would be nice if each
night, when re-populating and creating new users and the like, if I just try to re-enter
the membership for a user already a member, I could do it without ending with repeated
membership
Else, I need a way to read the XWikiObjects in a page, get the Ids, get the
"member" properties and so find out if an user is already a member (so I skip
it) or it needs to get added (so I use max(Id)+1 as new Id, and there are no examples for
accesing Objects in a Page via XML-RPC
So tomorrow I will start playing with rpc.getObjects("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup") :)
Thanks in advance

Ok, could not sleep until I tried it... :)
Changed the code to add membership to something a little bit more convoluted (a function
that finds a free ID number and also checks the user is not already a member)
This is slow via XML-RPC but the code is easily understandable...
private void XWikiAnadirUsuarioAGrupo(XWikiXmlRpcClient rpc, String usuarioXWiki, String
grupoXwiki) throws XmlRpcException {
List<XWikiObjectSummary> objs = rpc.getObjects(grupoXwiki);
int maxId = 0, currId;
boolean alreadyAMember = false;
for (XWikiObjectSummary objSum : objs) {
XWikiObject obj = rpc.getObject(objSum);
currId = obj.getId();
if (currId>maxId) {
maxId=currId;
}
if (obj.getClassName().equals("XWiki.XWikiGroups")) {
if (obj.getProperty("member").equals(usuarioXWiki)) {
alreadyAMember=true;
break; // for
}
}
}
if (!alreadyAMember) {
// anadimos membership
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId(grupoXwiki);
xobjgrp.setId(maxId + 1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member",usuarioXWiki);
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
}
}
This way it works!
Thank you for guiding me to solve this!!

// again, same member (sounds stupid, don't you think?)
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();

xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setId(1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","username1");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
What I get is TWO membership objects for "username1" in the same Group page. I
thought I would overwrite the first one with the second.
Maybe you think "this guy is nuts, now he complains they're not overwriting each
other..." :) but my code is not like above, of course; but it would be nice if each
night, when re-populating and creating new users and the like, if I just try to re-enter
the membership for a user already a member, I could do it without ending with repeated
membership
Else, I need a way to read the XWikiObjects in a page, get the Ids, get the
"member" properties and so find out if an user is already a member (so I skip
it) or it needs to get added (so I use max(Id)+1 as new Id, and there are no examples for
accesing Objects in a Page via XML-RPC
So tomorrow I will start playing with rpc.getObjects("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup") :)
Thanks in advance

Hi Bernardo,
As Eduard said the REST API is newer and has a better traction, though it
doesn't match the entire XML-RPC functionality(eg: syntax conversion).
Your use case is typical for some RPC style automation and our API should
work just fine.
Regarding your issue:
The XWikiObject entities also have an "id" property which identifies them in
a document. Incrementing that property should prevent the storeObject(..)
code from overriding the previous objects(group members).
I didn't test the java client for the xml-rpc, but I doubt there's something
wrong with it.
To see a more clear representation of the model you could check these
sources(.net mapping):

Hi there!
We are trying to use XWiki 3.0 enterprise, trying to create via
XML-RPC thousands of users, groups and membership programmatically so
we can keep updated AD, Liferay, other sources of users, other apps,
all with CAS integration, etc.
As there is still no confluence 2.0 API compatibility but we need to
create users & groups in XWiki from an external software, we have been
collecting pieces of code from messages and FAQs about how to
implement it.
We try to create users, their pages, and add them to the XWikiAllGroup
with :
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("username01");
page.setId("XWiki.username01");
page.setContent("{{include
document=\"XWiki.XWikiUserSheet\"/}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject();
xobj.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiUsers");
xobj.setPageId("XWiki.username01");
xobj.setProperty("first_name",
"name");
xobj.setProperty("last_name", "last
name");
xobj.setProperty("email",
"email(a)email.com")com");
xobj.setProperty("password","##########");
rpc.storeObject(xobj);
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
(Suppose we run that with username01 to username99)
Although first time we run this, the page gets created, the user gets
created but the properties not! :-o
If we run again the import, then every user gets their properties. :-?
Then, only the LAST user created gets correctly added to
XWiki.XWikiAllGroup. If we stop/debug the program between each user
creation process, always the last one appears at XWiki.XWikiAllGroup
when checking via UI. So they are all there for a moment, until they
are replaced by the last one. Like if the rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp)
deleted previously any other user in that XWiki.XWikiAllGroup page.
Then we try to create groups using this:
// create group 01
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group01");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
// create group 02
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group02");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
...
Those "Groups" get created as Pages with XWikiGroupSheet app that
allows us to see/edit the users via UI, but we need to add them via
XML-RPC.
ALSO, they are Pages, but they are NOT EXACTLY the same as if they
where created via the Admin UI, where when you create a "Group" it
shows slightly differently:
Autocreated via XML-RPC:
[cid:image001.png@01CC2C45.659F3540]
Versus when a group is created via Admin UI, it shows up differently,
just like this:
[cid:image002.png@01CC2C45.659F3540]
SO, we suppose the way we create a Group via XML-RPC (just a Page with
a special Sheet) is NOT ENOUGH.
And finally we try to add existing users to newly created groups with
code like this:
// user 01 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 01 to group 02
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group02");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 02 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 03 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
...
If now we check the group via UI, we can find Pages named
XWiki.group01 , XWiki.group02, and with only one user each (although
in the code up there username 01, 02 and 03 should be members of
group01 !!! only THE LAST ONE (username03) remains.
Also we tried to add also some users to the default (pre-created)
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup so they can act as administrators:
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
As before only XWiki.username02 stays as member of
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup.
We tried this with a fresh install of XWikiEnt3.0+Jetty+HSQLDB, then
in Tomcat+MySQL, same problem in all of them.
So, are we doing something wrong? Maybe something must be done with
every user or group before you can add membership via XML-RPC?
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

Hi,
Not sure about this, but XWiki`s XMLRPC server should automatically
assign an object ID if none exists. However, I believe the problem was
that you did not specify any object ID and the default was 0. Just look
at the server side code
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…
.
1. So your first object was not found and thus created with ID 0
(generated by XWiki).
2. Your second object (with default id of 0 caused by the fact that you
did not specify an ID) was already found (which was actually the first
object) and, using the same id (0), was overriden with the properties
from the second object.
3. In the end, you have the first object with id 0 overriden with the
properties of the last object you tried to store.
If you specify and id of -1, no object should be found on the server and
XWiki should generate a new id on the server side. The object returned
by the storeObject method on the client side should contain the new ID.
So you`d have to do...
XWikiObject obj = new XWikiObject();
obj.setId(-1);
obj.set...;
obj = rpc.storeObject(obj);
System.out.println("New object ID: " + obj.getId());
Hope this helps,
Eduard

Ok, could not sleep until I tried it... :)
Changed the code to add membership to something a little bit more convoluted (a function
that finds a free ID number and also checks the user is not already a member)
This is slow via XML-RPC but the code is easily understandable...
private void XWikiAnadirUsuarioAGrupo(XWikiXmlRpcClient rpc, String usuarioXWiki, String
grupoXwiki) throws XmlRpcException {
List<XWikiObjectSummary> objs = rpc.getObjects(grupoXwiki);
int maxId = 0, currId;
boolean alreadyAMember = false;
for (XWikiObjectSummary objSum : objs) {
XWikiObject obj = rpc.getObject(objSum);
currId = obj.getId();
if (currId>maxId) {
maxId=currId;
}
if (obj.getClassName().equals("XWiki.XWikiGroups")) {
if (obj.getProperty("member").equals(usuarioXWiki)) {

}
}
if (!alreadyAMember) {
// anadimos membership

xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId(grupoXwiki);
xobjgrp.setId(maxId + 1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member",usuarioXWiki);
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
}
}
This way it works!
Thank you for guiding me to solve this!!

Asunto: Re: [xwiki-devs] creating groups via XML-RPC
OK, following you suggestions I changed a couple of things; first of all, added a parent
to each new page...
page.setParentId("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
to each new group; with that there seems to be no difference between a group created via
UI vs a group created via XML-RPC
also to user pages with...
page.setParentId("XWiki.XWikiUsers");
that solved one of my questions...
Then I tried using a different Id (an integer) for each XWikiObject used for membership.
That allowed me to add all the users so as you said, now they won't be overwriting the
same one.
(BTW the example for creating users in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPCJavaExamples is wrong as it would
overwrite always the last user added with the same code in the Group XWikiAllGroup)
BUT, what I see now is that if I DO TRY to overwrite an user using the same Id, they
won't overwrite the same user.
I mean, if I do the following:
// add a member
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setId(1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","username1");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// again, same member (sounds stupid, don't you think?)
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setId(1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","username1");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
What I get is TWO membership objects for "username1" in the same Group page. I
thought I would overwrite the first one with the second.
Maybe you think "this guy is nuts, now he complains they're not overwriting each
other..." :) but my code is not like above, of course; but it would be nice if each
night, when re-populating and creating new users and the like, if I just try to re-enter
the membership for a user already a member, I could do it without ending with repeated
membership
Else, I need a way to read the XWikiObjects in a page, get the Ids, get the
"member" properties and so find out if an user is already a member (so I skip
it) or it needs to get added (so I use max(Id)+1 as new Id, and there are no examples for
accesing Objects in a Page via XML-RPC
So tomorrow I will start playing with rpc.getObjects("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup") :)
Thanks in advance

That means I don't have to calculate a "new id" by myself... so slimmer
code:
List<XWikiObjectSummary> objs = rpc.getObjects("XWiki.mygroup");
boolean alreadyAMember = false;
for (XWikiObjectSummary objSum : objs) {
XWikiObject obj = rpc.getObject(objSum);
if (obj.getClassName().equals("XWiki.XWikiGroups")) {
if (obj.getProperty("member").equals("XWiki.user01")) {
alreadyAMember=true;
break; // for
}
}
}
if (!alreadyAMember) {
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId(("XWiki.mygroup");
xobjgrp.setId(-1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.user01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);

Not sure about this, but XWiki`s XMLRPC server should automatically
assign an object ID if none exists. However, I believe the problem was
that you did not specify any object ID and the default was 0. Just look
at the server side code
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…

1. So your first object was not found and thus created with ID 0
(generated by XWiki).
2. Your second object (with default id of 0 caused by the fact that you
did not specify an ID) was already found (which was actually the first
object) and, using the same id (0), was overriden with the properties
from the second object.
3. In the end, you have the first object with id 0 overriden with the
properties of the last object you tried to store.
If you specify and id of -1, no object should be found on the server and
XWiki should generate a new id on the server side. The object returned
by the storeObject method on the client side should contain the new ID.
So you`d have to do...
XWikiObject obj = new XWikiObject();
obj.setId(-1);
obj.set...;
obj = rpc.storeObject(obj);
System.out.println("New object ID: " + obj.getId());

Changed the code to add membership to something a little bit more convoluted (a function
that finds a free ID number and also checks the user is not already a member)
This is slow via XML-RPC but the code is easily understandable...
private void XWikiAnadirUsuarioAGrupo(XWikiXmlRpcClient rpc, String usuarioXWiki, String
grupoXwiki) throws XmlRpcException {
List<XWikiObjectSummary> objs = rpc.getObjects(grupoXwiki);
int maxId = 0, currId;
boolean alreadyAMember = false;
for (XWikiObjectSummary objSum : objs) {
XWikiObject obj = rpc.getObject(objSum);
currId = obj.getId();
if (currId>maxId) {
maxId=currId;
}
if (obj.getClassName().equals("XWiki.XWikiGroups")) {
if (obj.getProperty("member").equals(usuarioXWiki)) {
alreadyAMember=true;
break; // for
}
}
}
if (!alreadyAMember) {
// anadimos membership
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId(grupoXwiki);
xobjgrp.setId(maxId + 1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member",usuarioXWiki);
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
}
}
This way it works!
Thank you for guiding me to solve this!!

Asunto: Re: [xwiki-devs] creating groups via XML-RPC
OK, following you suggestions I changed a couple of things; first of all, added a parent
to each new page...
page.setParentId("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
to each new group; with that there seems to be no difference between a group created via
UI vs a group created via XML-RPC
also to user pages with...
page.setParentId("XWiki.XWikiUsers");
that solved one of my questions...
Then I tried using a different Id (an integer) for each XWikiObject used for membership.
That allowed me to add all the users so as you said, now they won't be overwriting the
same one.
(BTW the example for creating users in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPCJavaExamples is wrong as it would
overwrite always the last user added with the same code in the Group XWikiAllGroup)
BUT, what I see now is that if I DO TRY to overwrite an user using the same Id, they
won't overwrite the same user.
I mean, if I do the following:
// add a member
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setId(1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","username1");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// again, same member (sounds stupid, don't you think?)
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setId(1);
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","username1");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
What I get is TWO membership objects for "username1" in the same Group page. I
thought I would overwrite the first one with the second.
Maybe you think "this guy is nuts, now he complains they're not overwriting each
other..." :) but my code is not like above, of course; but it would be nice if each
night, when re-populating and creating new users and the like, if I just try to re-enter
the membership for a user already a member, I could do it without ending with repeated
membership
Else, I need a way to read the XWikiObjects in a page, get the Ids, get the
"member" properties and so find out if an user is already a member (so I skip
it) or it needs to get added (so I use max(Id)+1 as new Id, and there are no examples for
accesing Objects in a Page via XML-RPC
So tomorrow I will start playing with rpc.getObjects("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup") :)
Thanks in advance

Asunto: Re: [xwiki-devs] creating groups via XML-RPC
Hi Bernardo,
As Eduard said the REST API is newer and has a better traction, though it
doesn't match the entire XML-RPC functionality(eg: syntax conversion).
Your use case is typical for some RPC style automation and our API should
work just fine.
Regarding your issue:
The XWikiObject entities also have an "id" property which identifies them in
a document. Incrementing that property should prevent the storeObject(..)
code from overriding the previous objects(group members).
I didn't test the java client for the xml-rpc, but I doubt there's something
wrong with it.
To see a more clear representation of the model you could check these
sources(.net mapping):

Hope this helps,

Hi there!
We are trying to use XWiki 3.0 enterprise, trying to create via
XML-RPC thousands of users, groups and membership programmatically so
we can keep updated AD, Liferay, other sources of users, other apps,
all with CAS integration, etc.
As there is still no confluence 2.0 API compatibility but we need to
create users& groups in XWiki from an external software, we have been
collecting pieces of code from messages and FAQs about how to
implement it.
We try to create users, their pages, and add them to the XWikiAllGroup
with :
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("username01");
page.setId("XWiki.username01");
page.setContent("{{include
document=\"XWiki.XWikiUserSheet\"/}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject();
xobj.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiUsers");
xobj.setPageId("XWiki.username01");
xobj.setProperty("first_name",
"name");
xobj.setProperty("last_name", "last
name");
xobj.setProperty("email",
"email(a)email.com")com");
xobj.setProperty("password","##########");
rpc.storeObject(xobj);
XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
(Suppose we run that with username01 to username99)
Although first time we run this, the page gets created, the user gets
created but the properties not! :-o
If we run again the import, then every user gets their properties. :-?
Then, only the LAST user created gets correctly added to
XWiki.XWikiAllGroup. If we stop/debug the program between each user
creation process, always the last one appears at XWiki.XWikiAllGroup
when checking via UI. So they are all there for a moment, until they
are replaced by the last one. Like if the rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp)
deleted previously any other user in that XWiki.XWikiAllGroup page.
Then we try to create groups using this:
// create group 01
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group01");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
// create group 02
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace("XWiki");
page.setTitle("group02");
page.setContent("{{include document='XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet' /}}");
rpc.storePage(page);
...
Those "Groups" get created as Pages with XWikiGroupSheet app that
allows us to see/edit the users via UI, but we need to add them via
XML-RPC.
ALSO, they are Pages, but they are NOT EXACTLY the same as if they
where created via the Admin UI, where when you create a "Group" it
shows slightly differently:
Autocreated via XML-RPC:
[cid:image001.png@01CC2C45.659F3540]
Versus when a group is created via Admin UI, it shows up differently,
just like this:
[cid:image002.png@01CC2C45.659F3540]
SO, we suppose the way we create a Group via XML-RPC (just a Page with
a special Sheet) is NOT ENOUGH.
And finally we try to add existing users to newly created groups with
code like this:
// user 01 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 01 to group 02
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group02");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 02 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
// user 03 to group 01
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("group01");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
...
If now we check the group via UI, we can find Pages named
XWiki.group01 , XWiki.group02, and with only one user each (although
in the code up there username 01, 02 and 03 should be members of
group01 !!! only THE LAST ONE (username03) remains.
Also we tried to add also some users to the default (pre-created)
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup so they can act as administrators:
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
XWikiObject xobjgrp =
new XWikiObject();
xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups");
xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup");
xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username02");
rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp);
As before only XWiki.username02 stays as member of
XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup.
We tried this with a fresh install of XWikiEnt3.0+Jetty+HSQLDB, then
in Tomcat+MySQL, same problem in all of them.
So, are we doing something wrong? Maybe something must be done with
every user or group before you can add membership via XML-RPC?
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!
