[xwiki-users] How to add/ register a new user in xwiki through xmlrpc?? - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

8 Mar 2010

Hi Nithya,
Looks like in your example you are using Apache XMLRPC directly. In
the example that I provided I have used the client side proxy for Java
which is much easier and less verbose than the other method.
Please run this example and let me know if it works out for you...
I am quite interested in finding out if it works...thanks.

 Hi Nithya,
 As Sergiu rightly said, an XWiki user is just another document/Page with a
 XWiki.XWikiUser object associated to it.
 Hope the following example helps you in creating users using XMLRPC.
 Please note that I have only been able to create a user. "Setting" the
 password is something I did not have much luck with.
 Probably, the XMLRPC API method to set the "password" property stores the
 password in plain text when in fact XWiki expects passwords which are
 "hashed".
 I hope someone on the mailing list could help by providing the code snippet
 to update password using XMLRPC. Once, that is done, we can save this
 example  at

    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException,

        //URL of the xwiki instance
        String url = "http://localhost:8080/xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence";

        //Replace user & pass with desired xwiki username & password
        String user = "Admin";
        String pass = "admin";

        XWikiXmlRpcClient rpc = new XWikiXmlRpcClient(url);
        try {
            //Perform Login & Authentication
            rpc.login(user, pass);

            //Create a Page to hold the user profile & set it's three
 important attributes viz. Space, Title, Content
                        //Set the space="XWiki" since all XWiki users go to
 "XWiki" space by default
                        //Set title to the username of the user. In our
 case, username="testuser"
                        //Set content to include the XWikiUserSheet.
                        //Without this the user Page will come up blank and
 no fields will be displayed

            Page page = new Page();
            page.setSpace("XWiki");
            page.setTitle("testuser");
            page.setId("XWiki.testuser");
            page.setContent("{{include
 document=\"XWiki.XWikiUserSheet\"/}}");
            rpc.storePage(page);

                        //Create a XWikiObject and set the class to
 XWiki.XWikiUsers
                        //Set the "host" Page as XWiki.testuser. This is the
 page we created in the steps above
                        //Set the first_name & last_name properties with
 values "Test" and "User" respectively
                        //We can access the list of all properties for a
 User class at the following link:

 //http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiUsers?editor=class
                        //Finally, save the object using rpc.storeObject

            XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject();
            xobj.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiUsers");
            xobj.setPageId("XWiki.testuser");
            xobj.setProperty("first_name", "Test");
            xobj.setProperty("last_name", "User");
            rpc.storeObject(xobj);

        } catch (XmlRpcException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        } finally {
            rpc.logout();
        }
    }
 }

 A user is just like any other document+object. Just do what's usually
 done for creating a new document and adding a XWiki.XWikiUsers object.

 Don't forget to add the user to the groups you want.

 Hi All,

   I am struggling in the user creation part of xwiki through xml rpc.

   This is my code snippet to create a new user in xwiki..

                     String url =
 "http://sso.isupport.com/xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence";
                     String user = "Admin";
                     String pass = "admin";

                     Confluence confObj = new Confluence(url);
                      confObj.login(user, pass);

                      User userObj = new User(new HashMap());
                      userObj.setEmail(&quot;shimy(a)gmail.com&quot;)com");
                      userObj.setFullname("shimyThomas");
                      userObj.setName("shimy");
                      confObj.addUser(userObj, "csscorp");

  while running this an application i am getting the following error.. in
 this specific line

 confObj.addUser(userObj, "csscorp");

       org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.ConfluenceException: No such handler:
 confluence1.addUser
        at org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.Confluence.call(Confluence.java:808)
        at org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.Confluence.call(Confluence.java:770)
        at org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.Confluence.addUser(Confluence.java:435)
        at CreateUser.main(CreateUser.java:55)

   Can anyone suggest me how to create a user? Kindly tell me is there any
 bug in the code...

 Thanks,
 Nithya.
