[xwiki-users] Accessing objects via DocumentAccessBridge

14 Oct 2009

      Hi,

I'm writing a comoponent that needs to access and modify XWiki objects.  I'm
using the DocumentAccessBridge interface, but a little puzzled by the
interface.  It seems like, to inspect the objects of a given class in a
given document, I have to do something like:

String[] properties = new String {"firstName, lastName"};
int objectNum = 0;
boolean moreObjects = true;

while (moreObjects) {

	for (String property : properties) {

		String value = (String) documentAccessBridge.getProperty(documentName,
"Main.MyClass", objectNum, property);

		if (value == null) {
			moreObjects = false;
			break;
		}

		// ...
	}
	objectNum++;
}

It also seems like it's impossible to set properties of any object other
than the first one of its class in a document, using the one setProperty
method.

Is this a correct way to access objects (I've been having trouble testing as
per my previous post)?  Is there another way to modify objects?

I did notice that this interface is only intended to be temporary until a
redesign exposes the whole model as a component.  When is this expected to
happen?

Thanks,
David Breeden
