Hi Devs,
As reported @ http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3288 and
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XAOFFICE-10, OfficeImporter wysiwyg plugin
has issues with importing some documents on some platforms.
When importing documents from the wysiwyg plugin, the approach we follow is
to upload the file that need to be imported into the current page and then
import the corresponding attachment. But this scheme has two problems:
1) If the file being uploaded contains special characters, the attachment
name will be different from the file name. And this will cause the
officeimporter to fail because after uploading the file we will be making a
second request to import the attachment with the original file name (but now
there is no such attachment).
2) The fileName returned by GWT FileUpload widget is different from Firefox
to IE. While Firefox returns the file name, IE returns the whole file path.
This causes the officeimporter wysiwyg plugin to fail completely under IE
(File Import Tab only).
The solution I can see is the following,
1) Upload the file as an attachment just as before.
2) Make a second rpc call. This RPC call will import the latest attachment
to the current page by the current user. This way we don't need to worry
about crappy file names and browser specific stuff.
I know it's a bit ugly but it will work.
WDYT?
Thanks.

I Implemented this approach and it works fine and fixes both the issues
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3288 and
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XAOFFICE-10
Still I'm wondering if this is the correct approach or not. I won't commit
the code for the moment, in the mean time if you have any comments please
let me know.
Thanks.

This solution is acceptable in most of the cases (provided you look for
both new and updated attachments), but not bullet proof. Ideally, the
upload action should tell us the name of the added/updated attachment.
A hackish solution would be to use the xredirect hidden input in the
upload form and make the upload action add the name of the attachment in
the query string. This way you could force the upload action to redirect
to an URL like /Space/Page?xpage=plainAttachmentName&attchmentName=foo.
I don't know the details though so it might now work.

This solution, while working in most of the cases, is not interleaving-free.
Between the moment of the upload and the moment of the RPC call (when you get
last attachment), another attachment might have been uploaded and so you get a
wrong and very strange result for the user.
Even if it works in most of the cases, I think we should look for another
solution that would really give back the name of the attachment, since we might
need it in many other places.
I'm not at all knowledgeable of the REST API, but if it were a method there to
attach a file and send back attached file name in JSON (or something), it would
be so great.
Happy coding,
Anca

You can do this, it's already supported by the REST API.
For example:
curl -u Admin:admin -X PUT -H "Content-type: application/pdf" --data-
binary @test.pdf
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome/atta…
Will create an attachment on the Main.WebHome page and will return an
XML containing all the information about the (newly created or
updated) attachment.
Something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="yes"?>
<attachment xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
<link rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/page"
href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome
"/>
<link rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/attachmentData"
href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome/attachments/test.pdf
"/>
<id>xwiki:Main.WebHome@test.pdf</id>
<name>test.pdf</name>
<size>32990</size>
<version>1.3</version>
<pageId>xwiki:Main.WebHome</pageId>
<pageVersion>6.1</pageVersion>
<mimeType>application/pdf</mimeType>
<author>XWiki.Admin</author>
<date>2009-03-25+01:00</date>
<xwikiRelativeUrl>/xwiki/bin/download/Main/WebHome/test.pdf</
xwikiRelativeUrl>
<xwikiAbsoluteUrl>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/download/Main/WebHome/test.pdf
</xwikiAbsoluteUrl>
</attachment>
If you want this information in JSON, just add an "Accept: application/
json" to the request and you are done:
curl -u Admin:admin -X PUT -H "Content-type: application/pdf" -H
"Accept: application/json" --data-binary @test.pdf
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome/atta…

Hope this helps.
