[xwiki-users] FW: XWiki source code

Hi Anyone, I'm trying to understand how XWiki works - its a servlet isn't it? but looking through the source code it doesn't have the standard servlet structure (unless I'm looking in the wrong place) i.e. import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class SomeServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { // Use "request" to read incoming HTTP headers (e.g. cookies) // and HTML form data (e.g. data the user entered and submitted) // Use "response" to specify the HTTP response line and headers // (e.g. specifying the content type, setting cookies). PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); // Use "out" to send content to browser } } so how does it work ... where do I start looking in the source code? What's the architecture (http://www.subbu.org/articles/servlets/ServletIssues.html) - is it one, two or three tier? Thanks in advance.

Can someone "in the know" document on xwiki.org the flow of control through XWiki from starting up the java server (Jetty, Tomcat, etc) and XWiki, to the user logging in, to view a document, navigating to another page, to editing and saving a page (HSQL, MySQL, etc), to logging out, to using a plugin, to running some embedded code on a page, and finally to shutting down XWiki? Some diagrams would be useful as well. Even if it were just a brief description it would reallyhelp. It would be useful to know where to start to try and understand the code. Some background on the technologies used by XWiki would be useful as well. Thanks. Regards, Richard Thales UK Ltd (Wells) DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail is confidential.
