Hi,
Would this work with objects?
Say we have an addressbook (e.g. in XML format). If I create a class
ContactPerson in XWiki, can I populate XWiki with instances of contact
objects (1 per page)?
Thanks,
Marc

Hi,
XWiki Pages are stored as XML files. You can look at the XML
representation of a standard XWiki pages (export as XAR,
rename to ZIP, unzip, look inside the folder). Then try to
find which XWL fields from your original XML format could be
converted into XWiki document fields (especially web, name,
title, creation date and content).
Once you've decided which mapping to use, write and launch
your XSLT script.
Then you'll have a bunch of XWiki pages as XML. Look at the
output of a XWiki XAR export to see what the description file
looks like and write one with the name of your pages inside.
Put everything into a folder, zip it, rename it to .xar, try
importing it.
If the import fails, try splitting it into a number of smaller XARs.
Hope this helps,
Guillaume

Hi.
We have a repository of articles (our Old CMS) we would
like to import
into xwiki automatically.
These Articles are in a propietary XML format, one XML file
per article.
What would be the best approach?
We have ability to restructure/transform xml into another
xml by means
of xslt.
Which approaches could we research?
