Re: [xwiki-users] Creating user using XML RPC....

Hi Nithya, As Sergiu rightly said, an XWiki user is just another document/Page with a XWiki.XWikiUser object associated to it. Hope the following example helps you in creating users using XMLRPC. Please note that I have only been able to create a user. "Setting" the password is something I did not have much luck with. Probably, the XMLRPC API method to set the "password" property stores the password in plain text when in fact XWiki expects passwords which are "hashed". I hope someone on the mailing list could help by providing the code snippet to update password using XMLRPC. Once, that is done, we can save this example at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPCJavaExamples ======================================================================== import java.net.MalformedURLException; import org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException; import org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.Page; import org.xwiki.xmlrpc.XWikiXmlRpcClient; import org.xwiki.xmlrpc.model.XWikiObject; public class CreateUser { public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, XmlRpcException { //URL of the xwiki instance String url = "http://localhost:8080/xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence"; //Replace user & pass with desired xwiki username & password String user = "Admin"; String pass = "admin"; XWikiXmlRpcClient rpc = new XWikiXmlRpcClient(url); try { //Perform Login & Authentication rpc.login(user, pass); //Create a Page to hold the user profile & set it's three important attributes viz. Space, Title, Content //Set the space="XWiki" since all XWiki users go to "XWiki" space by default //Set title to the username of the user. In our case, username="testuser" //Set content to include the XWikiUserSheet. //Without this the user Page will come up blank and no fields will be displayed Page page = new Page(); page.setSpace("XWiki"); page.setTitle("testuser"); page.setId("XWiki.testuser"); page.setContent("{{include document=\"XWiki.XWikiUserSheet\"/}}"); rpc.storePage(page); //Create a XWikiObject and set the class to XWiki.XWikiUsers //Set the "host" Page as XWiki.testuser. This is the page we created in the steps above //Set the first_name & last_name properties with values "Test" and "User" respectively //We can access the list of all properties for a User class at the following link: //http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiUsers?editor=class //Finally, save the object using rpc.storeObject XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject(); xobj.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiUsers"); xobj.setPageId("XWiki.testuser"); xobj.setProperty("first_name", "Test"); xobj.setProperty("last_name", "User"); rpc.storeObject(xobj); } catch (XmlRpcException e) { System.out.println(e); } finally { rpc.logout(); } } } ======================================================================== Message: 1 Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 09:33:05 -0800 (PST) From: Nithya Vembu <nithu2k5(a)gmail.com> Subject: [xwiki-users] Creating user using XML RPC....
