Are there any examples of how to use livetable with groovy? The only examples I can find are for velocity. Thanks Tim

The live table macro, http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Livetable+Macro , is a Velocity macro so it's normal that you've seen only Velocity examples. It's also a very complex macro so rewriting it in Groovy is not worth the effort and I don't think it makes much sense. Why do you need to generate the live table from Groovy? Maybe there are workarounds. Hope this helps, Marius On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 5:26 PM, Tim Dudgeon <tdudgeon.ml(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for response. I'm just starting to get to grips with xwiki, so sure I'm not necessarily going in the right direction. But I was wanting to generate some data with groovy (lets assume its query of an external database) and then display the results in livetable. Tim On 19/08/2013 07:33, Marius Dumitru Florea wrote:

Following is example how you can connect Groovy with Velocity using session attributes. {groovy} session=context.getRequest().getSession(); session.setAttribute('key1', 'Ā123'); println(session.getAttribute('key1')); {/groovy} {velocity} #set($session=$xcontext.getRequest().getSession()) key1 $xcontext.getRequest().getSession().getAttribute('key1') {/velocity} Valdis

The data that is displayed in the live table is quite disconnected from the live table. The only requirement is that the data is in JSON format and that it follows the expected structure. But you can generate the JSON using the scripting language of your choice and from whatever data you have. As documented on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Livetable+Macro#HParam… you have two ways to specify where the live table should take the data from: either the "resultPage" parameter or the "url". So you can put for instance the Groovy code that queries the external database and generates the JSON in a wiki page and specify it as the value of the "resultPage" parameter. Hope this helps, Marius

Yup, FTR the plan is to have XWiki Syntax 2.x macro in some future, see: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/LiveTable20Macro Thanks -Vincent
