Dear All,
I have some questions about the LocalDataStorage implementation and Page resources
display.
1. The current LocalDataStorage implementation uses xmlrpc model and the cache structure
looks like the following:
index
|-space
|-page
As the xmlrpc model is being replaced by org.xwiki.eclipse.model package, do we need to
modify the local storage as well, e.g., adding a folder to store various wikis?
I am not very clear about how local storage works. My rough understanding is like this:
(1) When user accesses a page, local cache stores it.
(2) Whenever user makes a change in the editor, store it in the local cache
(3) when user performs a submission, synchronize the content
2. I have asked how to display page information before, the suggestion from Eduard is the
following:
------ WebHome (PageSummary)
-------- Attachments
---------- dog.png
---------- spreadsheet.xls
-------- XWiki.XWikiComments
---------- 0 : Administrator ('author' property value)
---------- 1 : Guest
---------- 2 : Administrator
-------- XWiki.MyClass
---------- 0 : etc.
---------- 1 : etc.
However, I am not sure what else needs to be included? e.g, annotations, versions,
history, translations?
Once confirmed, I will start working on the page content.
Best regards

Yes, LocalDataStorage needs to be refactored to use org.xwiki.eclipse.model

We definitely need to take into account multiple wikis. Either we add a new
folder in the existing hierarchy or we have a flat index where the wiki,
space and page are part of the file name.
Currently, the index is structured hierarchically but the actual
pages/objects/etc. have a flat structure.
I see no point in having (1) different locations and (2) different structure
for index and data. These 2 should be merged into a single hierarchical
structure inside the 'local_data' folder.
But, since you need to advance quicker on the REST implementation, I propose
that, for now, you just extend the current structure to include wikis.

Yes, you have all the details in
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-eclipse/blob/master/plugins/org.xwiki.eclips…
Basically, the get methods also store in the local cache (if connected) or
retrieve from local cache (if offline). Store methods save locally and
synchronize with the remote wiki (if conencted) or just save locally if
offline and later on, when the connection is available, synchronize with the
remote wiki.
2. I have asked how to display page information before, the suggestion from

---------- 0 : etc.
---------- 1 : etc.
However, I am not sure what else needs to be included? e.g, annotations,
versions, history, translations?
Once confirmed, I will start working on the page content.
I`d like to add that annotations should be displayed just like normal XWiki
objects, same as comments. Also, history(=versions) and translations should
be kept in a menu.
The only reason why I suggested that we display Attachments in a special way
is because, internally, they are not handled as XWiki objects and that
forces us as well to handle them specially in XEclipse. The rest, are just
XWiki objects.
Thanks,
Eduard

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [xeclipse] questions about LocalDataStorage and display of Page resources
Hi, Eduard and Fabio,
I looked into the page related to data model
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DataModel
As one single page may have children pages and parent page, do we need
to support the page hierarchy or just use one flat layer to display all
the pages?
Another question is about how to add customized class, e.g., MyClass to
a page.
I created a customized class, called MyClass1 as a numerical type.
I tried to add a customized object for it, but it will not show up in
the class list.
Therefore, I do not know how to test the fetch function of customized
classes.
Best regards

No, parent-child relationship is currently used XWIki only for the
breadcrums view and maybe a logical grouping on top of the space-page
relation. For XEclipse, space-page is the main focus. Parent-child would be
nice, but I don`t see it as a priority.
Another question is about how to add customized class,
e.g., MyClass to
a page.
I created a customized class, called MyClass1 as a numerical type.
I tried to add a customized object for it, but it will not show up in
the class list.
Therefore, I do not know how to test the fetch function of customized
classes.
To create a class in XWiki, you go to (or create) an XWiki page and use
Edit>Class. You add some fields of basic types (String, Boolean, etc...) and
then save the page. Now the page you just edited has become a class. It is
still a page, but it can be used to define the structure for new objects. It
will show up in the class list when you want to create a new object in a
page.
Now, back to REST,
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI#HClassres…
that you can query classes and their instances on each wiki. The only
problem I see here, is that you can't (or at least I don`t see the API,
Fabio should confirm) create new classes using REST. If this is true, then
you`ve just stumbled upon a first limitation of the REST API that needs
fixing.
Normally, an XWiki page, in it's internal XML representation, contains a
<class> tag that defines the class it represents. Have a look with
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TestClass?viewer=xml (use view
source on the page since it does not show up nicely in the browser).
The REST API separated this information (see classes resource) and only
provides GET methods implementation. PUT methods need to be implemented as
well. It should not be that hard.
For now, you should focus only on retrieving and later you can come back to
creating.
Hope this answers your questions.
-Eduard

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [xeclipse] questions about LocalDataStorage and display of Page resources
Dear All,
According to the previous discussions and the current implementation of
xeclipse's local storage, I propose the following steps to develop the
new local storage for xeclipse:
1. flat structure of cache or local storage
local_storage
|--wikis ->wiki summary
|--spaces ->space summary
|--pageSummaries ->page summary
|--objectSummaries ->object summary
|--pages -> actual page
|--objects -> actual object
2. cache mechanism
2.1 every time, when user retrieves remote information of
wiki/space/page, store the summary information in the corresponding
folders if it is cached yet.
2.2 every time, a page or an object is opened, cached it to pages/ or
objects/ folder
2.3 maintain an index of last visited objects/pages
3. cache format
I plan to use json to replace the current xml serialization, because
json is more efficient in marshalling and unmarshalling. The libary of
gson will be used to perform the job.
4. index
I am not sure how to implement index for this flat structure. To me,
hashMap might be enough; key is the xeclipse id and value is the actual
object/page/space/etc. I have looked at several popular cache libraries
(e.g., jboss cache, hibernate, EcipseLink, etc.), but it seems to me
that they are over-killed in this case.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Best regards
