Hi everybody,

Is there a way to dynamically (through groovy code) change the values on a static list or on any other property of a xwiki class?

I am using *field = document.getxWikiClass().get("propertyName")* to get the property.

document is of type* com.xpn.xwiki.api.Document*.

But when I try to change the value using * field.getPropertyClass().setValues("val1|val2|val3")* I get a *null* value from* field.getPropertyClass()*

I am following the information on http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10692.html

I am using groovy on xwiki 2.0.2.24645

Thanks Caleb,

I follow your recommendation, but I am getting a BaseClass with no properties. The class I am creating it is supposed to have 4 properties.

I am using the folling code to use the class:

*...*

*docname = xwiki.getUniquePageName("ValidationSample", "TestClass") valdoc = xwiki.getDocument("ValidationSample." + docname) ok = valdoc.newObject("ValidationSample.TestClass") ok = valdoc.updateObjectFromRequest("ValidationSample.TestClass")* * ...

valdoc.use("ValidationSample.TestClass")*

ValidationSample.TestClass has 4 properties (2 TextAreas and 2 a Static Lists).

Then to get the property that I need to dynamically change:

*field = valdoc.getDocument().getxWikiClass().get("Project")*

But I get a null value from * valdoc.getDocument().getxWikiClass().get("Project")*. The BaseClass returned "get" calls getField().getValue() maybe the problem is that BaseCollection is used for objects and xclasses and get is only useful for objects. Try getField()

by *valdoc.getDocument().getxWikiClass() *is a *ValidationSample.TestClass *class but the Properties collection is empty.

Because of a bug in groovy you can view private fields so you can look directly at the fields in the class with for(String name : valdoc.getDocument().getxWikiClass().fields.keySet()) { println(name); } Also if you want to change the prettyName of a class property (for example), you would have to cast the field to PropertyClass (didn't test this but it should work.) ((PropertyClass) valdoc.getDocument().getxWikiClass().getField()).setPrettyName("new name"); Caleb

It looks like you have isolated the problem because doing the same thing with a class that is known to exist $xwiki.getDocument('XWiki.XWikiPreferences').getDocument().getxWikiClass().toString() displays all of the properties in xml format. I also double checked by adding a property to Main.WebHome class and viewing that, it works as expected. I recommend you double check valdoc, and add if (valdoc.isNew()) { println("oops I didn't load the document."); } to your script. Caleb Abel Solórzano Astorga wrote:

Thanks again Caleb,

I try your suggestion, but I keep getting a null value from * valdoc.getDocument().**getxWikiClass().get("Project")*.

The fields Map ( *valdoc.getDocument().**getxWikiClass().fields.keySet(**)*) is empty.

I put the following line on the code:

*println valdoc.getDocument().getxWikiClass().toString()*

and the result is

*<class> <name>ValidationSample.TestClass_6</name> <customClass></customClass> <customMapping></customMapping> <defaultViewSheet></defaultViewSheet> <defaultEditSheet></defaultEditSheet> <defaultWeb></defaultWeb> <nameField></nameField> <validationScript></validationScript> </class>*

I was expecting to see the properties on the XML.

Thanks a lot guys, I followed the suggestion of Sergiu and it works just fine. Abel On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 6:51 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]> wrote:

Is valdoc the document containing the class? It doesn't look like it from the name.

So, you must do something like:

...

{{velocity}} #set($classDoc = $xwiki.getDocument('Your.Class')) #set($propertyDefinition = $classDoc.getxWikiClass().get('project')) ## $propertyDefinition.class should now print com.xpn.xwiki.api.PropertyClass ## Unfortunately, at this point you need programming rights to go into the inner, protected property definition #set($propertyDefinition = $propertyDefinition.getPropertyClass()) ## $propertyDefinition.class should now print com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.StaticListClass ## If it doesn't, then you don't have programming rights. $propertyDefinition.setValues('a|b|c') ## Don't forget to save $classDoc.save() {{/velocity}}
