Hi, Status Rept: I reverse engineered the com.xpn.objects /.object.classes / .object.meta packages. I think I understand it somewhat now. I am making up my own simple design for the model classes. I will soon post UML diagram with my design. Since XWiki ReST interfaces are so robust I don't have to fill many of the attribute fields and propertiest to post a blog post. I will further experiment (Using Postman chrome plugin for ReST testing, it's nice) before coming up with the class diagram.
Questions: 1) A page has its own class. When we make a new page a custom class gets created. I checked the xml file for Blog.BlogIntroduction. It looked more of a representation of a document object. Not a class definition. (It had values defined. So can it be considered as a class def) ? 2) Is this idea correct? I make a new page named NEWPAGE1 in Blog space. page :is of class type Blog.NEWPAGE1. can have objects of any type. I posted a BlogPostClass object. But there are no restrictions to post another BlogPostClass object. But only the first BlogPostClass object is rendered when viewing the page. Shouldn't the page be of type BlogClass (extends BlogCode).? So, Shall I give a type for a document object. Something like doc.setType(BlocClass.class); When this happens the document object enforces type restrictions. Like only BlogPostClass objects should be in the page and etc. I'll be happy to provide with clarifications If I said things very briefly. I will design a uml class diag for this part and send before implementation starts. Thanks Best Regards Sasinda.
