I will, thanks. Does it have a different/better behaviour or is just the preferred way ?

2014-05-13 19:10 GMT+02:00 Thomas Mortagne &lt;thomas.mortagne(a)xwiki.com&gt;om>: Yes in fact it's what I did (the "this.context = " in my sample code). I realize that I didn't think about it so much when I did it :) Here I have to apologize because we already had this discussion here, and you already suggested to use Provider<XWikiContext>, but I completely forgot about it. I suggest that the component tutorial could be updated around this context stuff ? http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents#HTheXWi… I would propose to replace: "If you still need to access the old XWiki context, then you can get a reference to it from the execution context, but you should not cast it to an XWikiContext, which would pull the whole xwiki-core as a dependency, but to a Map. You won't be able to access all the properties, like the current user name or the URL factory, but you can access anything placed in the internal map of the XWikiContext." By: "If you still need to access the old XWiki context, then you can get a reference to it from an injected XWikiContext Provider, but you should not cast it to an XWikiContext, which would pull the whole xwiki-core as a dependency, but to a Map. You won't be able to access all the properties, like the current user name or the URL factory, but you can access anything placed in the internal map of the XWikiContext." And to replace the sample code by: " /** Provides access to the XWiki context. Injected by the Component Manager. */ @Inject private Provider<XWikiContext> xcontextProvider; [...] private void workWithTheContext() { Map<Object, Object> xwikiContext = (Map<Object, Object>) xcontextProvider.get(); // Do something with the XWiki context }"
