Thank you Florin, Sergiu, Eduard! Will try your suggestions and I'll tell you.
Bernardo -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Florin Ciubotaru Enviado el: jueves, 16 de junio de 2011 17:49 Para: XWiki Developers Asunto: Re: [xwiki-devs] creating groups via XML-RPC Hi Bernardo, As Eduard said the REST API is newer and has a better traction, though it doesn't match the entire XML-RPC functionality(eg: syntax conversion). Your use case is typical for some RPC style automation and our API should work just fine. Regarding your issue: The XWikiObject entities also have an "id" property which identifies them in a document. Incrementing that property should prevent the storeObject(..) code from overriding the previous objects(group members). I didn't test the java client for the xml-rpc, but I doubt there's something wrong with it. To see a more clear representation of the model you could check these sources(.net mapping): - http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xoffice/trunk/xword/Connectivity/Clients/XmlRpc/Model/ Hope this helps, Florin Ciubotaru 2011/6/16 Riveira Faraldo, Bernardo <[email protected]> > > Hi there! > > > We are trying to use XWiki 3.0 enterprise, trying to create via > XML-RPC thousands of users, groups and membership programmatically so > we can keep updated AD, Liferay, other sources of users, other apps, > all with CAS integration, etc. > > > As there is still no confluence 2.0 API compatibility but we need to > create users & groups in XWiki from an external software, we have been > collecting pieces of code from messages and FAQs about how to > implement it. > > > We try to create users, their pages, and add them to the XWikiAllGroup > with : > > > Page page = new Page(); > > page.setSpace("XWiki"); > > page.setTitle("username01"); > > page.setId("XWiki.username01"); > > page.setContent("{{include > document=\"XWiki.XWikiUserSheet\"/}}"); > > rpc.storePage(page); > > > XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject(); > > xobj.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiUsers"); > > xobj.setPageId("XWiki.username01"); > > xobj.setProperty("first_name", "name"); > > xobj.setProperty("last_name", "last > name"); > > xobj.setProperty("email", > "[email protected]"); > > xobj.setProperty("password","##########"); > > rpc.storeObject(xobj); > > > XWikiObject xobjgrp = new XWikiObject(); > > xobjgrp.setClassName("XWiki.XWikiGroups"); > > xobjgrp.setPageId("XWiki.XWikiAllGroup"); > > > xobjgrp.setProperty("member","XWiki.username01"); > > rpc.storeObject(xobjgrp); > > > (Suppose we run that with username01 to username99) > > > Although first time we run this, the page gets created, the user gets > created but the properties not! :-o > > If we run again the import, then every user gets their properties. :-? > > > Then, only the LAST user created gets correctly added to > XWiki.XWikiAllGroup.
