Hi Caleb, This is great stuff! Since XClasses are actually JDO-enhanced Java classes as I understand, is there, or could we add, an UI to write such classes directly (in groovy for example) ? It would offer more possibilities than regular XWiki classes : more complex relationships, other types (blobs, etc.). A mechanism would be needed to be able to manipulate such objects as native java objects from the XWiki api I guess. Does that make sense ?

Hi,

Over in the XWiki Research Department, we've been working on some exciting new developments. While XWiki provides industry leading flexibility for defining, storing and querying data structures in SQL based stores, we are researching how to bring storage to Cassandra distributed NoSQL data store and give you the power to define and store your own true Java native Objects.

In this demonstration we run 2 integrated XWiki/Cassandra nodes and show changes propagating from one to the other as we edit pages. We show that you can stop one node and the wiki is still fully functional with only one node running. Then we restart the downed node and show the edits which were made while the node was down propagating over from the running node.

Here is the demonstration video:

While this is still in heavy development, we hope to be bringing up live nodes for you to play with as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Caleb

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking about when I designed it. I envisioned the next generation as being more powerful than the current generation in a Turing sense so that it can emulate it to provide backward compatibility. I had imagined a UI where the user selects properties in a class editor and template code is generated below which they can edit. As far as the UI goes, the sky really is the limit here.
