Re: [xwiki-users] Access denied to xwiki.cfg

30 Jul 2007

      Hi Vincent,

Just checking if I missed something obvious. Shouldn't XWiki call call
File.canRead() instead of  File.exists()? Actually, by reading the Java
SE API docs it looks like canRead() will throw the same Security
Exception, so the solution would be to catch it. But it's kinda nonsense
to have a method that should return false if I can't read a file and
this method instead throws an exception.

When I start my patching excercise, should I use either XWiki 1.0
sources or 1.1? For me, 1,1 should be almost production-ready to be
viable, but I could restrict myself to only 1.0 features.

Hi Fernando,
This is indeed a bug. Here's what we do:
InputStream xwikicfgis = null;
// first try to load the file pointed by the given
path
                    // if it does not exist, look for it relative to
the classpath
                    File f = new File(xwikicfg);
                    if (f.exists()) {
                        xwikicfgis = new FileInputStream(f);
                    } else {
                        xwikicfgis =
econtext.getResourceAsStream(xwikicfg);
...
The pb is that f.exists() will return true and new FileInputStream
will throw an exception and thus the else will not get executed.
I have opened an issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1539
Thanks

Hi there,
After running XWiki fine in my local server, I'm trying to run it on
my hosting provider.
Acces to WebHome yelds the error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not
initialize main XWiki context
Wrapped Exception: access denied (java.io.FilePermission
/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg read)
I tried changing web.xml <http://web.xml> to
<env-entry>
        <env-entry-name>XWikiConfig</env-entry-name>
        <!--
        <env-entry-value>/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg</env-entry-value>
        -->
<env-entry-value>/virtual/lozano.eti.br/www/xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg</env
-entry-value>
        <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
    </env-entry>
That is, I tried cofiguring the real phisical path to the xwiki.cfg file,
But still get the same error.
My ISP tells me Xwiki is trying to get /WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg as an
absolute file system path,
not as a context-relative path, and it looks like changing the
<env-entry> has no effect.
What should I do?
