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.
See the details here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents#HTheXWik...
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
