Hello, the option is the boolean "xwiki.store.hibernate.useclasstables" to put in the config...
sorry if I don't answer quickly but I'm quite busy and I can't answer in a serious manner just now... Anyway, if it can help you, I think you should read this tuto: http://www.theserverside.com/tt/articles/article.tss?l=XWiki Even if I know a bit the class design, I'm not an expert yet :) But $xwiki.search seems not to return Object[] but Collection[] only with properties Name, ClassName and Number... Don't know why exactly but I will look at it... So something like this seems to work for me... you retrieve the doc and then the object and then you get our Object :) #set($query="from BaseObject obj where obj.className ='Contacts.ContactClass'") #set($results=$xwiki.search($query, 10, 0)) #foreach ($item in $results) #set($myObject = $xwiki.getDocument($item.Name).getObject($item.ClassName, $item.Number)) $myObject.get("firstname") | $myObject.get("surname") | $myObject.get("phone1") #end surname Maybe somebody could tell if there is something quicker? br Pascal On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 9:39 AM, [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Pascal, > > Thannks for the detailed explanation! > > Pascal Voitot wrote: > > Hello, > > by default, Classes aren't stored in any specific table but are stored > as > > XML with the document... > > You can trigger an option called UseClassesTable or something like that > > which will make classes be stored in tables using the hibernate mapping > > defined by XWIki (tables xwikiclasses and xwikiclassesprop)... > > You can even provide your custom mapping... > > > > Anyway, this is not important because the class is the data structure > and > > what you certainly need is to keep objects and property values.
