Subject: [xwiki-users] DBlist with external query data?
Please forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to use DBList with queries
to other databases? I'd very much like to use this element populated with
the results from a query to another database running on the same server as
XWiki, but the only documentation I can find describes queries of the XWiki
database.
No, you cannot do that with DBList. It’s expecting a HQL query actually (and we’ve been
needing to add support for XWQL too for a very long time).
Another direction could be to look at adding a new type for that, see
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/CreatingNewXClassProperty… (I don’t
know if it would work though, it may be too tied to the XWiki data model).
You don't really need a complete new type, you can provide a custom
displayer for your field. See "Custom Display" property in the field
definition in your class.
