[xwiki-devs] XML file format to import multiple revisions of an existing page via XAR upload - xwiki-devs@xwiki.org

25 Sep 2015

Hi,

I am trying to update an existing page (ad new revisions) by uploading XAR using REST
API:

curl -k -u Admin:admin -v -X POST -T "Main.testpage.xar" -H "Content-Type:
application/stream" https://SERVER/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki?history=ADD

I could successfully upload a single new revision to an existing page and that new
revision is correctly showing up on the page history. But I wanted to upload multiple
revisions at a time.  For that in the document xml I specified the new revisions inside
<versions> </versions> tag (similar to what we see in the XML of exported page
with history), but that does not work.

Is it possible to add multiple revisions to an existing page with a single XAR upload?

Following are my document xml and package.xml inside the XAR file that I was using:

Main/testpage.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xwikidoc version="1.1">
  <web>Main</web>
  <name>testpage</name>
  <language/>
  <defaultLanguage>en</defaultLanguage>
