Hi,
Is it possible to create a new object of a custom class using the RESTful API?
The documentation page only lists the following POST method, which
doesn't accept a class name:
/wikis/{wikiName}/spaces/{spaceName}/pages/{pageName}/objects[?start=offset&number=n]
I have tried things like the following:
curl -u Admin:admin -X POST -H "Content-type: text/plain" -H "Accept:
application/xml" -d "(a)test.xml"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects/XWik…
Where test.xml contains some variation on:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="yes"?>
<properties xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
<property type="com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.TextAreaClass"
name="Text">
<attribute value="Text" name="name"/>
<attribute value="Test" name="prettyName"/>
<attribute value="0" name="unmodifiable"/>
<attribute value="0" name="disabled"/>
<attribute value="100" name="size"/>
<attribute value="10" name="rows"/>
<attribute value="" name="customDisplay"/>
<attribute value="Text" name="editor"/>
<attribute value="6" name="number"/>
<attribute value="0" name="picker"/>
<attribute value="" name="validationMessage"/>
<attribute value="" name="validationRegExp"/>
<value>
This is some text.
</value>
</properties>
Curl returns this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Status page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>The method specified in the request is not allowed for the resource identifi
ed by the request URI</h3><p>You can get technical details <a

</html>
Simpler syntax without the XML file still fails for me. In fact, I
can't seem to even get the basic "create object" method to work, even
without the class. For example:
curl -u Admin:admin -X POST
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects
Just comes back with a "malformed syntax" error.
Is there an example anywhere of how to do this?
Thank you,

The documentation page only lists the following POST method, which

True, but the documentation page (
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI#HObjectre…
) also says that the supported media types are:
* either application/xml (Object element) or
* application/x-www-form-urlencoded (a set of property#name=value
pairs representing properties and a field className)
Regarding the first option, I would add the object manually from the
wiki (object editor), then export the page as XAR, then look for the
"object" tag inside the XML file corresponding to the exported wiki
page and use it as POST data for the REST API. Note that the class is
specified in the content of the object element so you don't have to
specify it in the REST resource URL.
Regarding the second option, I would try something like:
className=XWiki.TestClass&Text=This%20is%20some%20text
I think the specified class must exist because otherwise the REST API
won't be able to determine the type of the listed properties (e.g.
"Text").
Hope this helps,
Marius

Hi,
you were almost there :)
Your request has two things that were wrong:
1) A text/plain content type instead of application/xml
2) The URI for POSTing new object is
/wikis/{wikiName}/spaces/{spaceName}/pages/{pageName}/objects (and not
/wikis/{wikiName}/spaces/{spaceName}/pages/{pageName}/objects/{className})
...And your XML is missing the className element which will tell the
REST API what class has to be used.
So to sum up, imagine that you want to create on the page Test.Test a
new object of the class XWiki.TestClass, supposing that the class has
a Text property (like in your example)
So you have to do the following:
$ curl -u Admin:admin -X POST -H "Content-type: application/xml" -H
"Accept: application/xml" -d "(a)test.xml"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects
where test.xml is:
<object xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
<className>XWiki.TestClass</className>
<property name="Text">
<value>Whatever you want to put here</value>
</property>
</object>
Alternatively you can use the less verbose
application/x-www-form-urlencoded format:
$ curl -u Admin:admin -X POST -H "Content-type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept: application/xml" -d
"(a)test.txt"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects
where test.txt contains something like:
"className=XWiki.TestClass&property#Test=Whatever+you+want".
Or, better, you can use directly curl to specify these parameters
using multiple -d switches:
$ curl -u Admin:admin -X POST -H "Content-type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept: application/xml" -d
"className=XWiki.TestClass" -d "property#Test=Whatever you want"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Test/pages/Test/objects
The advantage of the second approach is that curl will take care of
url-encode your content, while if you send a file you are responsible
for this.
Now some remarks:
1) In the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format the "property#" is
a standard immutable prefix that is used to distinguish attributes
referring to properties from the attributes referring to the object.
For example if we had "className=XYZ&Text=FOO" we would have had an
ambiguity on className because we couldn't understand if className is
a property of the object to be set to XYZ or an attribute that
describes the object itself (i.e., its metadata like the className).
By having the property# prefix this ambiguity is resolved.
2) The information you get back when you retrieve an object (i.e., all
the <attribute> elements) are useful when clients need to understand
the type of data contained in an object (e.g., when they want to
display it). They are not necessary when creating an object because
the system already has this information. That's why the XML to be sent
is smaller. Actually the only information needed is the <className>
and a set of <property name="..."><value> elements.
3) How do you know what kind of information you can send with the XML?
You can discover it by using the class description URI. If you go to
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/classes you will get a
list of all the classes defined in the Wiki. By looking at this you
will understand what are the properties defined by each class, their
types and attributes. In that way you will know what you're allowed to
put in the <property><value> elements of the XML you send.
Hope this answers your questions.

New subject: [xwiki-users] RESTful API to create a new object of custom class?
Hello,
I read through this thread, and being a newbie to XWiki, I do understand the
cURL syntax explained here, but it's the location of wikis/pages/classes I'm
unsure about.
I created a custom class of which I'm able to instanciate objects, and list
them using a LiveTable.
The className I'm using in the LiveTable options is
"Development.Resources.Version Information.VersionInformationClass".
New VersionInformationClass instances I'm creating wind up in the tree under
[Home Symbol] / Software Development / Resources / Version Information.
I'd like to create new instances of that class using cURL.
I think the following syntax would look about right:
"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\curl.exe" -u AdminUser:AdminPassword -X POST -H
"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept:
application/xml" -d "className=Development.Resources.Version
Information.VersionInformationClass" -d "property#Name=TestABCD"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Development/pages/VersionInf…
Now I have many more properties than just Name, but for testing I figured
I'd start just with that one.
The className I'm pretty sure about since this is exactly what I'm
successfully using in my LiveTable.
I think the problem is my URI. I'm not sure what the wiki, space and class
should be in that context.
I get the following output:
<html>
<head>
<title>Status page</title>
</head>
<body style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<p style="font-size: 1.2em;font-weight: bold;margin: 1em 0px;">Not
Found</p>
<p>The server has not found anything matching the request URI</p>
<p>You can get technical details here

Please continue your visit at our home page </> .
</p>

</html>
Can someone help me figure out the correct URI?
Thank you
Phil

Hi Phil,
I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with what you're doing but here is two
thought that may help you.
1) First, you say that "New VersionInformationClass instances I'm
creating wind up in the tree under [Home Symbol] / Software Development
/ Resources / Version Information." so I would expect a URI of the
following form
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Software
Development/spaces/Resources/spaces/Version
Information/pages/VersionInformation/objects
2) I see that you put spaces (the character ' ') in some of the spaces
name (wiki's nested spaces). It should be possible to make it work with
spaces (character) but I'm not sure about the syntax in this case (maybe
a '+' to replace ' ', maybe something else). You may want to test
without first to see if the problem come from this character or not?
Hope this helps,
Sincerely,

so basically everything that has children is considered a space?

I get this:
<p>The method specified in the request is not allowed for the resource

Which would indicate that it might be the correct URI, but for some reason

It seems that Version+Information is a space, not a (terminal) page.
And indeed, you'll not be able to add objects to a space. Nested spaces
is a new functionality from version 7.x. You may want to read about
"Nested Spaces" in order to understand more what's a page and what's a
space in the this context. In your case, you may try to use the
following URI
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Software+Development/spaces/…
This WebHome should be here (I hope I'm not saying wrong things) for
retro-compatibility reasons.
In any case, I'm not mastering Nested Spaces so documentation (or
another community member more aware of the topic?) will say less crap
than me ;-)

New subject: [xwiki-users] RESTful API to create a new object of custom class?
Ok I think we're on to something now...
The actual name of the space is "Development". "Software Development"
is
just the pretty name.
I entered the page as WebHome.
http://srvwiki:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Development/spaces/Resour…
Just ran this and I managed to create the object. It just overwrote the
Version Information page instead of creating the new object under it.
Getting there!

New subject: [xwiki-users] RESTful API to create a new object of custom class?
I'm sorry, I think I still need a little help here...
So, I managed to get my object created.
To give you an idea, I have a page (at Development.Resources.Version
Information.WebHome) where I have a LiveTable that shows all my
VersionInformation objects.
When I create these objects, they wind up in the hierarchy under the Version
Information node.
The only way I was able to run the cURL command properly was with this
command line:
"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\curl.exe" -u AdminUser:AdminPwd -X POST -H
"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept:
application/xml" -d "className=XWiki.Development.Resources.Version
Information.VersionInformationClass" -d "property#Name=TestABCD"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Development/spaces/VersionIn…
But doing this overwrites the Development.Resources.Version
Information.WebHome with the newly created object.
Now, it seems that the URI must end with a page, but it is my understanding
the a page can't have children - so how do I create VersionInformation class
instances under a certain node?
Thanks again for the help.

Ok an update here...
With the following syntax:
"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\curl.exe" -u admin:admin -X *POST *-H
"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept:
application/xml" -d "className=XWiki.Development.Resources.Version
Information.VersionInformationClass" -d "property#Name=TestABCD" -d
"property#Product=4.0"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Development/spaces/Resources…
it seems that some object does created - if I go to the Version Information
webhome, click edit and select Objects, I see the following:
XWiki.Development.Resources.Version Information.VersionInformationClass
Development.Resources.Version Information.VersionInformationClass 0
And instances get added each time I run it again a new instance gets added
(0, 1, etc.). It seems there's nothing I can do with these instances except
delete them. I don't see them in the tree either.
Something else I tried is the following:
"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\curl.exe" -u admin:admin -X *PUT *-H
"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept:
application/xml" -d "className=XWiki.Development.Resources.Version
Information.VersionInformationClass" -d "property#Name=TestABCD" -d
"property#Product=4.0"
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Development/spaces/Resources…
In this case, a new page called TestABCD appears in the hierarchy under
Version Information. But it's a regular page, not a Version Information one
like I can create with the template.
Could my issue be that my object creation does not include every property of
the class?
Or am I not understanding the concept the class objects properly?
What I'm looking for is to wind up with a page that looks the same as when I
create a new page using my Version Information template.

Finally made it!
So - first of all I messed up my class name while trying stuff out, I didn't
need the XWiki. prefix in there.
Second, I first create the page with a PUT command, then I make it into an
instance of my class (or rather create an object of that class under it and
somehow it does the math) with a POST.
So I have the following:
"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\curl.exe" -u admin:admin -X PUT ^
-H "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept:
application/xml" ^
http://localhost/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Development/spaces/Resources…
"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\curl.exe" -u admin:admin -X POST ^
-H "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept:
application/xml" ^
-d "className=Development.Resources.Version
Information.VersionInformationClass" ^
-d "property#Name=TestABCD" ^
