see any obvious problems with it. What I ended up doing though was to leave

Hi,
I have a few questions about the xwiki's 'import' function and was
wondering
if I could get answer to any if not all of the
following:
1. I have done an 'export' on an xwiki server instance and I then
stripped
the generated .xar to remove some unwanted spaces
within it (this
included
editing the archive.xml within). When I then try
to import the stripped
.xar
on another xwiki server instance, I get:
"There was an error reading the
file abc.xar. Error number 0 in 5: Package: Error when reading XML." What
does this error mean?
Probably that you made a mistake editing the package.xml file.
Yes, I've figured as much. But having looked at the file I still couldn't
2. If I am importing a .xar into a server
instance via a web browser,
then
is it ok to do it from a remote client or do I
have to be on the same
host
machine the xwiki server is on?
You can do it from a remote machine.
3. If I export spaces which contain attachments to a .xar file. Will the
attachments still be available when importing the .xar file on another
xwiki
instance? If so, where are attachments stored in
the .xar file?
Yes they will. They are base 64 encoded and stored in the xml file for the
page
which they are attached to.
Great stuff.
