Hello Vincent, I was using the xwiki-rendering-archetype-macro because it will already contain all the dependencies required for the rendering purpose. Yes, I am not creating a macro so I plan to delete the extra files(which are generated using archetype) which will not be required for this. For this, I think I will also have to modify the pom.

I am following this guide http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents

I am already following the pattern similar to WikiWord Transformation.

So, according to you, I should simply create a maven project, without using the archetype with a jar packaging, and then follow the pattern of WikiWord Transformation.

As I said, it’s fine, it’s up to you.

Also, I am not able to think of how will I use this component in taking glossary items from the glossary space. For the component to be accessible on wiki pages, I would have to write a ScriptService.

Not sure. What do you have in mind as APIs for this script service? AFAICS there’s no need for a script service for the glossary app unless you have some idea I don’t see.

But, I am not getting the idea, how would I use that script for glossary items already present in glossary space?( This may be confusing for you!!)

I don’t understand what you mean. If you’re asking how to find glossary items, you’ll use the Query module for that: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Query%20Module

Some hints required......... Rest of the things like scanning the wiki pages and creating links to the glossary items will not be that difficult I suppose.

You won’t need to scan anything, that already exists and the page content is exposed as a XDOM object. Creating links is easy indeed. Thanks -Vincent

I am little new to this, please guide me a little.

Thanks 🙂

Hello, The next part of my project is creating transformations i.e displaying words included in glossary differently when a page renders. After going through docs, I understood that I have to write a new rendering transformation. This new transformation will match the words on different pages to the glossary items present in the glossary space, and then create links to the required glossary page.

What should be the name of this transformation? glossaryTransformation?

GlossaryTransformation sounds good indeed.

...

Furthermore, I have used the xwiki-rendering-archetype-macro for generating the component using maven [ mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=xwiki-rendering-archetype-macro \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.xwiki.rendering \ -DarchetypeVersion=9.5-SNAPSHOT ]

You don’t really need this but it’s ok if you use it too. Note that you’re not developing a macro though.

In practice you just need to read http://contrib.xwiki.org/ xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HImplementingyourMavenbuild and also check the WikiWord transformation maven module which is at https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-rendering/tree/master/xwiki-rendering- transformations/xwiki-rendering-transformation-wikiword

Thanks -Vincent

I am still working on the component implementation. Hope I am going on the right track.

Thanks :)
