The uproar was caused by the fact that you asked for help without
explaining what you wanted to do... If you had explained what you just
explained below I guess it would have saved us a few emails ;)
One option you should consider is to define standard XWiki Classes and
map them to your own database schema using what is called "custom
mapping".
Unfortunately I cannot tell you much more other than it's doable.
Anyone having any experience with custom mapping in XWiki?
Thanks

To answer Q1. -> I wanted to make XWiki a
platform for integrating
some
tools like XPlanner with a Project Mangement template which carries
copious
amounts of data in its database and also as an area where employees
can
interact with each other and share/edit data (making use of
versioning).
This is on an experimental basis.
All I wanted to do is -
1. Insert/read data from the company's database (I'm just doing what
I am
told to do, okay ?).
2. Allow employees to access their domains in the mail server/
Bugzilla etc.
without the need to type in username & password repeatedly - just
login to
XWiki and go to their spaces using links. Something like MS Outlook
allows
you to access your all your mail accounts.
3. Enter documents under discussion which can be edited by multiple
persons
(along with histories and RSS)
I hope this is clear enough... :-) Xwiki is serving its purpose but
I guess
just wanted to bend it a bit too much !

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users Since I was probably not clear let me try to
rephrase what I meant:
1) If what you to manipulate is data generated by xwiki (i.e.
everything in the XWiki database) then you should use the API
provided
by xwiki and not manipulate this data directly.
2) If what you want to manipulate is your own data (for example data
coming from other systems) then you have to use direct JDBC
connection
for sure.
This is why I asked for Harikrishan's use case as he seems to be in
use case 1 since he mentioned something about saving some text field
in the database. Typically, the standard way for doing this in XWiki
is to create an Object and let XWiki save that Object to the
database.
Hope it makes sense,
-Vincent
Definitely. It makes complete sense. I'm also a bit confused by
Harikrishnan messages, that is the reason I've brought in our own
case to
see where, if anywhere, Harikrishnan graft to.
Keeping track of this issue,
