[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Adding a WikiAccessBridge - xwiki-devs@xwiki.org

4 Mar 2009

Hi guys,

Proposal: create a new bridge called WikiAccessBridge whose purpose is, 
for now, to get the temporary directory's location.
Reason: in my ChartMacro I need a temporary folder for storing images, 
and then sending them to the output.

I'm thinking of providing two methods:
File getTemporaryDirectory() - to get the directory as a File, thus 
having the ability to write files within it
URL getAttachmentURL(String fileName) - to get a newly created file as a 
web URL (e.g: http://localhost/my_newly_created_temporary_file.png)

I  plan to put the specifications of the bridge within org.xwiki.bridge 
and the implementation within com.xpn.xwiki

WDYT?

Tnx,
Dan
