Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki & External Database

Hello friends, Some time back I had asked the question on connecting XWiki to an external database. My organization had some special requirements & they wished that the other database would be seperated from the main XWiki database. I was able to figure out how to go about doing this. However, my solution follows the simple JSP design pattern. Basically, I retrieve parameters from one page and push it to another page using html form (with the action tag) which in turn pushes the data to the database. It is very primitive when compared to the nature and complexity of XWiki itself but serves the purpose. The scripting is done in velocity and groovy. Also, the pages are secured through XWiki's rights feature. So a normal user can only see the page, enter data on the page but not edit it. I request you to let me know if there is a better way of doing it. If need be I can paste my scripting code in the mailing list. However, I have not worked with Struts & do not know how to go about making changes at the source level. And eventhough I have just started using Groovy, I really like the ease of use. Is there a way that we can put in groovy or Java class files that will hide the scripting even at the XWiki page level. Thank you friends...
