[xwiki-devs] Creating a macro component
I'm having a difficult time adding a java macro and getting it to get invoked. I first found this page and created my class and created a META-INF/plexus/components.xml per the 'tutorial' here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Tutorial+to+Write+a+Macro+in+the+... I then found this tutorial for components (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents) and created a META-INF/components.txt file and added an @Component("mymacro") annotation to the macro implementation. However, I am unable to get my macro code to get called when pages are rendered. Is there something else I'm missing? I've verified all the relevant files are in my jar. -- Glenn

Both ways are correct. The annotation way is the newer way of doing it though.
However, I am unable to get my macro code to get called when pages are rendered.
What version of XE are you using? What error do you get? Thanks -Vincent

What version of XE are you using?
I'm using XE 1.8.2
What error do you get?
I don't get any error at all. The macro just shows up on the page as I spelled it: {mymacro} Is there an easy way to list recognized components?
Thanks -Vincent

Are you using xwiki syntax 2.0 for that page? If so the syntax is {{mymacro/}}
Is there an easy way to list recognized components?
From java yes, from velocity no. From java just implement Composable and call lookupList(Macro.ROLE) on the component manager. Thanks -Vincent [snip]

Yes, I tried that form as well. Is the 2.0 syntax automatically recognized or is there a switch somewhere? It must be something simple but I just can't see where it's going wrong. Is there an example zip of a java macro I could build to test with?

If you're asking this question is means you're not using xwiki syntax 2.0.... ;) See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing for how to use the 2.0 syntax. Thanks -Vincent

See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing for how to use the 2.0 syntax.
You're right about the 2.0 syntax. After switching to 2.0 syntax I started getting error messages on the macro code which proved helpful. It turns out my problem was I had accidently made my constructor protected so it was essentially unconstructable. Thanks for the suggestions along the way. I have some more questions I'll ask with a new thread. -- Glenn
