Re: [xwiki-users] How to correctly use the bridge apis ?

Hello, I'm wondering if I'm on the good path ... I'm trying to move out some "old core" api usage, and replace them using the DocumentAccessBridge (3.5.1), in a java component. Considering a very simple use-case : setting property value of an object. Here the document containing object is not in same space as the class. 1- With old core: XWikiDocument doc = context.getWiki().getDocument("Prefs.Document", context); BaseObject obj = serverDoc.getObject("Code.Class"); obj.set("property", value, context); 2- With DAB, using deprecated method: dab.setProperty("Prefs.Document", "Code.Class", "property", value); 3- With DAB, using non-deprecated methods: SpaceReference prefsSpaceRef = new SpaceReference(new EntityReference("Prefs", EntityType.SPACE)); DocumentReference prefsDocRef = new DocumentReference("Document", prefsSpaceRef); SpaceReference codeSpaceRef = new SpaceReference(new EntityReference("Code", EntityType.SPACE)); DocumentReference classDocRef = new DocumentReference("Class", codeSpaceRef); dab.setProperty(prefsDocRef, classDocRef, "property", value); Questions: a- the code with 3- is, IMO, quite verbose compared to the others. Is it really the best way to do this ? Of course I could store the SpaceReference objects to factorize their use and simplify the code. I'd better be sure before recoding all this ... b- what's the best practice, for a component, to properly manage the targeted wiki, in order to be single/multi-wiki/workspaces proof ? Here I didn't bother specifying the targeted wiki, if I do it will add more "*Reference" creations. c- is there any facility method to convert an oldish xwiki document reference (as "wiki:Space.Page" or "Space.Page") to a DocumentReference ? By the way, is the bridge API representative of the future new xwiki data model that will replace old core, or is it only representative of the current bridge api ?
