The snippet looks cool but it's quite hard to understand what it does.
I've documented: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/GenericXMLApiSnippet
Here is the corrupted class:
http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Cases/CaseClass
I've never seen that :) Something is indeed deeply broken since the rendering is failing to display but I don't know why.
This is very bad for me, because I can't access that class in any way. All I need is to rename ".unused" back to "unused", or roll back one version, but anyway I try to reach that, I get the same error. I think is might require low-level access to fix.
The problem started when I renamed a property to ".unused". I thought I could then add something like: #if (!"$propertyName.startsWith(".")) to hide unused properties. I think what happened is this: The class definition is stored (or processed) in XML, and having a property name starting with '.' confuses the parser. For example,
http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/api/genericXML?xpag... provokes this:
org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'getDocument' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki threw exception com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document Cases.Woodforthetrees Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document Cases.CaseClass Wrapped Exception: Error number 2002 in 2: Error parsing xml
