Similar question has appeared in this list earlier
with no good answer.
Though I suspect, this approach seems necessary is due to weak design.
Can you describe use case why it seems necessary in place of database
list,
where you can set hql query for filtering necessary elements?

Essentially I'm creating a sort of template for a space that I will want to duplicate
later. I have scripts that create objects from a spreadsheet specifically for a certain
class in this space.
Rather than duplicating the class by hand on the next space I want these scripts/objects
on, I'd like to be able to quickly and safely duplicate the class, so I wanted to
write a quick groovy script to do it.
If there is an easier way of doing this, I'd appreciate any ideas.

New subject: [xwiki-users] Creating class properties with groovy
It wouldn't work to copy the document with the class into each space?
If I were to go about creating classes, I would use the same technique that the XWiki
core
uses to create the comments class.
Note that you will have to have programming rights and in groovy or velocity you will need
to
call doc.getDocument() to get the underlying XWikiDocument.
Example:
public BaseClass getCommentsClass(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException
{
XWikiDocument doc;
boolean needsUpdate = false;
doc = getDocument("XWiki.XWikiComments", context);
BaseClass bclass = doc.getXClass();
if (context.get("initdone") != null) {
return bclass;
}
bclass.setName("XWiki.XWikiComments");
needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("author", "Author", 30);
needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("highlight", "Highlighted
Text", 40, 2);
needsUpdate |= bclass.addNumberField("replyto", "Reply To", 5,
"integer");
needsUpdate |= bclass.addDateField("date", "Date");
needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("comment", "Comment",
40, 5);
needsUpdate |= setClassDocumentFields(doc, "XWiki Comment Class");
if (needsUpdate) {
saveDocument(doc, context);
}
return bclass;
}
