Re: [xwiki-users] FW: XWiki source code - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

Vincent,

Thanks for writing this new section - it makes it clearer!
I didn't understand that XE uses the Struts/Velocity MVC architecture
(http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/struts/index.html). Now I understand
that (and have read up on it) XWiki seems a lot more understandable!

If you have time more detail on the architecture would help even more
(specifically the wiki specific 'business logic' and page rendering,
plugins, etc), but what you've already written has certainly given me and
others a good start for understanding XE.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,

Richard

  Hi Anyone,

 I'm trying to understand how XWiki works - its a servlet isn't it? 
I assume you're talking about XE...

Does this help:

 Hi,

 I'm trying to figure out the XWiki source code...

 Can someone "in the know" document on xwiki.org the flow of control  
 through
 XWiki from starting up the java server (Jetty, Tomcat, etc) and  
 XWiki, to
 the user logging in, to view a document, navigating to another page,  
 to
 editing and saving a page (HSQL, MySQL, etc), to logging out, to  
 using a
 plugin, to running some embedded code on a page, and finally to  
 shutting
 down XWiki? Some diagrams would be useful as well. Even if it were  
 just a
 brief description it would reallyhelp. It would be useful to know  
 where to
 start to try and understand the code. Some background on the  
 technologies
 used by XWiki would be useful as well.

 Thanks.
