Hello,
My company wants to migrate the content of an Oracle database into XWiki. This database
contains files (xls, doc, rtf etc...) stored in BLOB which are linked with text documents.
In order to migrate the text documents, I use the import in Xar format and it's OK,
the problem is the migration of the files. In my Wiki I chose the option to store the
attached files outside the database. I expected to put "metadatas attachment" in
the xml files and simply copy my files in the right directory but it doesn't work. Is
it a wrong idea ? What's the best way to do it ?
Thank you for help.

Whatever the way you store the attachment they are supposed to be part
of the exported xar.

Hi Françoise,
in order to do this, you would need to export all attachments from you
Oracle DB and store them into a ZIP file for instance. Then you would need
to write a script that reads the contents of the ZIP file, creates a XWiki
document for each of them and attaches the file to the document.
I've seen such scripts in action, but unfortunately I cannot find it on
http://extensions.xwiki.org . If you're not a developer, they might be a bit
tough to create from scratch.

Ha I tough you wanted to change the database used for XWiki.
First thing is to decide where you want to put theses files in XWiki
and to define a conversion rule you can then implements in a script.
You have several solution:
* use groovy inside a XWiki page since that's the easiest way to use
XWiki API to import and store the attachments in your wiki
* if you are not very confident with groovy (or java since groovy is
very close to java) you can also use the REST
(platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI) or XMLRPC
(http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC) or WebDAV
(http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/WebDAV) interfaces
provided by XWiki to upload the attachments in a whatever
script/program you know better

Thank you very much, I didn't want to start developpement before being sure I
can't avoid it.

Howdy Françoise,
The way I would approach this project is to use an external script and pull all of the
attachments
out to the filesystem then push them into XWiki. It is true that with FS attachments,
XWiki stores
the attachments as plain old files on the filesystem but each one has accompanying data in
the database
and that is difficult to replicate so I recommend just sending the attachments in through
the "front door".
A search of oracle blob to file turns up plenty of relevant results.
This looks promising:
http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Oracle/DBA_tips/LOBs/LOBS_10.shtml
Once the files are exported to the filesystem, I would use a shell script to push them to
the wiki.
Here's a simple script which pushes files through the webdav system, you should be
able to modify this
to meet your requirements.
#!/bin/bash
# usage: upload.sh <document> <file>
# uploads <file> as an attachment to <document>
# example: upload.sh Main.WebHome /home/user/file.txt
#
fileName="`echo $2 | sed 's/^.*\([^\/]*\)/\1/'`";
path="`echo $1 | sed 's/\(.*\)\.\(.\)\(.*\)$/\1\/_\2_\/\2\3/'`";
curl -v --user Admin:admin -T $2
http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/webdav/attachments/${path}/${fileName}
