I have a class in one of my spaces that has instances of itself attached. Eg.

MySpace MySpace.TopicsClass MySpace.TopicsClass[0] MySpace.TopicsClass[1]

How can I get the class from the space? I've tried:

#set ($hql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name = doc.fullName and obj.className = 'FranchiseTax.TopicsClass' and doc.space='FranchiseTax'") #set($topics = $xwiki.searchDocuments($hql))

Topics comes back with one item, which I can see by displaying $topics.get(0) and it prints out MySpace.TopicsClass. So it appears to have returned a string name of the document, however when I try:

#set($topicObj = $xwiki.getDocument($topics.get(0)))

Nothing is set into $topicObj. Do I have to do something different if the thing I am trying to get is a class and not a document? Once I have the class how do I get the collection of associated objects?

$xwiki.searchDocuments returns a list of document names (well, it is called "search documents"), and not objects or classes. The query does filter only the documents that do have the objects you're interested in, you'll just have to access them using the API, starting from the document name. ## Iterate over all documents having that type of objects #foreach($documentName in $xwiki.searchDocuments($hql)) ## Here documentName is a string, the name of the document #set($documentObject = $xwiki.getDocument($documentName)) ## Now you have a Document API, http://maven.xwiki.org/site/xwiki-core-parent/xwiki-core/apidocs/com/xpn/xwi... ## Iterate over the objects found in this document #foreach($object in $documentObject.getObjects('FranchiseTax.TopicsClass')) ## Display object properties with one of: $object.display('propertyname', 'view') $object.display('propertyname', 'edit') $documentObject.display('propertyname', $object ## ... or other display methods from the Document class. #end #end -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

I thought your other post looked like what I was trying but I wasn't getting the results I expected with any of the getObject* methods.. It turns out I think I was getting fooled by a toString() method. My problem was this: #set($hql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name = doc.fullName and obj.className = '${doc.space}.TopicsClass'") #set($results = $xwiki.searchDocuments($hql)) $results.get(0) ##This outputs FranchiseTax.TopicsClass as does: $xwiki.getDocument($results.get(0)) ## Also outputs FranchiseTax.TopicsClass but this one is actually a Document object. I was expecting an object Hash or something other than the same result as the previous line. With the document I was able to: $xwiki.getDocument($results.get(0)).getObjects($results.get(0)).size() Thanks for the help!! .:.
