Hello,
I'm trying to edit pages with the help of xoffice. Recently we noticed that
when adding images to pages via XWord the database contains an entry in the
table xwikiattachment for the attachment but the data is not beeing inserted
into the xwikiattachment_content table. This obviously leads to the image
link beeing broken, shown as having 0b of size.
I tried this with v1.1.1 as well als v1.2M1 against XWiki2.4. Since I read
the whitespace issue I tried this in the Sandbox-Space, Pagename 'Test'. The
issue could still be recreated.
I did not find any error in the tomcat logs. Is there any log that I'm
missing or is this a known bug?
Greetings,
Andreas

Hi,
I noticed this problem on a some servers but I wasn't able to pinpoint the
issue. From what I saw until now this could be an xml-rpc server bug while
using https.
Can you give me more details about your server enviromnent?

Hi Florin,
here are some details about my environment:
-Server2008 R2 Enterprise (64bit)
-JRE 1.6 (32 and 64bit - 32 because of openoffice server)
-OpenOffice running headless per batch
-Tomcat Server 6.0.29 running port 80
-XWiki 2.4 war and xar setup
-DB backend is MSSQL 2008 R1 SE
-Authentication per ldap
-XWord (1.1.1 and 1.2M1 doesn't make a difference for this issue)
-Client running Win7 64bit (32bit was tested as well) + Office2007
If I've missed anything please let me know.
I've already tried this using a normal user (view,edit,comment rights) as
well as the admin user (all rights) but it didn't make any difference.
Other topics of XWord I'd like to mention:
-install into Office2007 without admin rights not possible because of
security issues (fails to write some settings to security protocol)
-xwiki browser of the plugin shows all spaces with view rights regardless of
ignore or edit rights. Wouldn't it be nicer to show only spaces/pages with
edit right? Rights managment cannot be cutback as much as to enforce the
plugin browser and at the same time grant the user a passive view right on
all spaces while logged in at the wiki.
Hopefully the data I supplied helps resolving the issue. If not please don't
hesitate to ask for more ;)

I might need to add that the db server and the server hosting xwiki are two
different machines.

Hi Florin,
here are some details about my environment:
-Server2008 R2 Enterprise (64bit)
-JRE 1.6 (32 and 64bit - 32 because of openoffice server) -OpenOffice
running
headless per batch -Tomcat Server 6.0.29 running port
80 -XWiki 2.4 war
and
xar setup -DB backend is MSSQL 2008 R1 SE
-Authentication per ldap -XWord
(1.1.1 and 1.2M1 doesn't make a difference for this issue) -Client running
Win7 64bit (32bit was tested as well) + Office2007 If I've missed anything
please let me know.
I've already tried this using a normal user (view,edit,comment rights) as
well
as the admin user (all rights) but it didn't make
any difference.
Thanks for all the details.
Can you share a dummy url coresponding to the one you are using to login in
XWord?
Additionally, I would appeciate if you could test the following scenario:
- Create a wiki page using Word
- Insert some images then publish the page
- View the page in the browser and click on one of the image attachements.
-> The attachment should be corrupt
- Back in Word, re-publish the page
- Refresh the browser tab containing the attachment url -> The image appears
- Referesh the entire wiki page in the brower -> The image is currupt again
This should confirm that the attachment is only cached and not stored on the
server and will allow me to focus on the serverside api implementation.
Other topics of XWord I'd like to mention:
-install into Office2007 without admin rights not possible because of
security
issues (fails to write some settings to security
protocol)
Yes. This is imposed by Microsoft for this types of add-ins. The
installer
should prompt for admin rights.
-xwiki browser of the
plugin shows all spaces with view rights regardless of ignore or edit
rights.
Wouldn't it be nicer to show only spaces/pages
with edit right? Rights
managment cannot be cutback as much as to enforce the plugin browser and
at the same time grant the user a passive view right on all spaces while
logged in at the wiki.
This is a limitation of the server. We should either improve
the xml-rpc
api, or switch use REST for the wiki explorer. We currently have low
resources on XOffice but this should also go in the next releases.
Thanks,
Florin Ciubotaru

At last I found some more time to carry out your steps.
dummy URL: http://servername/xwiki
reroutes to http://servername/xwiki/bin/view/Main/
Servername entered into the XWord plugin:
http://servername
Login: sAMAccountName
PW: pw
Executing your given steps gave the following results:
- Create a wiki page using Word
-> successful
- Insert some images then publish the page
-> testing with only one image
-> insertion successful, publishing successful
-> db-table [xwikiattachment] holds a new dataset with details of the
attachment
-> db-table [xwikiattachment_content] doesn't contain a corresponding
dataset with the attachment content
- View the page in the browser and click on one of the image attachements.
-> page can be viewed. picture is shown. seems to last as long as the
cache holds up
- The attachment should be corrupt
-> after a view minutes it seems corrupt
- Back in Word, re-publish the page
-> success
-> db-table [xwikiattachment] holds old dataset with details of the
attachment
-> db-table [xwikiattachment_content] doesn't contain a corresponding
dataset with the attachment content
- Refresh the browser tab containing the attachment url -> The image appears
-> correct
- Refresh the entire wiki page in the brower -> The image is currupt again
-> correct
For testing I used both Firefox and IE8
Regarding the installation.. yes it does prompt for admin rights when trying
to install .net3.5 (even if its already installed) but it still fails to
write to security protocol if word is not at least once started with
administrator rights. This is no problem for me since we will have to do
this only once per machine and the administrator is going to be doing this
manually anyways - I just wanted to mention it :)

Yes. Thanks for testing the scenario. It should be fixed by the end of the
month and released with v1.2 M2.
