Thanks. I've actually read through that page several times, but it's only now
making sense to me after having given things a try and getting the help on this mailling
list. FWIW the problem for a new user is that there is a mix of documentation applying to
several versions of XWiki (especially when searching via Google). This is partly the curse
of wikis, since they don't go through structured revision control. It's so good
that the mailling list is so responsive to put us straight.
Thanks,
Bryn
OK, so I
should not use ExecutionContext at all?
You’re right, our goal is to have all context information (including the user) be put in
the Execution Context.
However, currently, we’re in a transition phase, trying to move from the old XWikiContext
to the new
ExecutionContext and thus a lot of information is currently still held in the
XWikiContext.
