Hi Denis,
plugin worked fine with me as I worked with the example and I guess
I do now understand the the basic of developing plugins. Thanks.
Actually I am using a data service's RPC call to invoke functions and
get the data. I have already set up the DS with xwiki and can call POJO
functions through the DS.The requirement for the server side remote object
is as stated here:
"You can use any plain old Java object (POJO) that is available in the web
application classpath as the source of the Remoting Service destination.
The class must have a zero-argument constructor so that DataService can
construct an instance."
I tried to make HelloWorldPluginApi of the example my remote object but
got a long error sice remote obj can only have zero argument!!!
Now my question is if I have a very simple POJO like this:
package com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.helloworld;
//import com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.helloworld.HelloWorldPluginApi;
public class SampleService
{
public String sayHelloTo(String name)
{
return "Hello " + name;
}
}
how can I call the example's HelloWorldPluginApi's hello()
function from this POJO's
sayHelloTo("") function?
Thanks.........
