Yup.  You can

a) either set "jspwiki.security=off" (turning off the entire security)
b) replace AuthorizationManager with your own implementation by setting

  <mapping>
<requestedClass>com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.AuthorizationManager</ requestedClass> <mappedClass>com.mycompany.mypackage.MyAuthorizationManager</ mappedClass>
  </mapping>

in your ini/classmappings.xml.

The latter is a largely undocumented feature, which was introduced in 2.6. It can be used to break JSPWiki very efficiently :-)

the ini/classmappings.xml can be anywhere in your classpath, just as long as it is before JSPWiki.jar (which ships with the default implementation). Check out the built-in classmappings.xml for more information.

Note that MyAuthorizationManager needs to either extend (if the original file is a class) or implement (if the original is an interface). There are no real checks as to the integrity of the class.

I have some ideas on how to make this integration process easier, but haven't gotten around to experimenting with them yet.

Ok, I created a dummy page provider and a dummy authorizer and I got a lot farther. I don't even need a MemoryPageProvider since I all I need is the output (thanks just the same Florian - it was instructive). I actually got translated output. The problem is that I had to modify the source code to do it. I had to comment out line 532 of WikiEngine:

//m_authorizationManager.initialize( this, props );

As near as I can tell, there's no way to create an authorization manager that doesn't involve a jspwiki.policy under WEB-INF. However, since I'm running it as a standalone app, I don't have a web container and therefore no WEB-INF. I could create this under the working directory, but I really don't want to put blank, unused metadata in my app. Is there any way to configure this such that I can start the authorization manager without a jspwiki.policy?

On a broader note, I'd be over the moon if this were an easier process. JSPWiki seems to be the most actively developed and feature-rich Java wiki there is, and has support for plugins and filters which I will eventually need. If there were an easy way to run the wiki translation, complete with plugins and filters, that didn't involve a web container and any extra memory/disk usage, it could broaden the usage quite a bit. I've looked at other java wiki translators out there, and none of them are doing a good job of the features/active development/ease of standalone combo (Radeox, Bliki, VQWiki to name a few). Other forum/mailing list posts confirm there is a demand.

Thanks for all your help,
Ethan

P.S. -- Here's my current code for anyone reading this in the future:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty(PageManager.PROP_PAGEPROVIDER, MyPageProvider.class.getName()); props.setProperty(AuthorizationManager.PROP_AUTHORIZER, MyAuthorizer.class.getName());

WikiEngine engine = new WikiEngine(props);

WikiContext context = new WikiContext(engine, new WikiPage(engine, "test"));

System.out.println("output: \n" + engine.textToHTML(context, "this is a test\n\n* more stuff"));


MyPageProvider and MyAuthorizer are both empty implentations of the interfaces. Just return an empty List for MyPageProvider.getAllPages.

Yup, the problem is that there needs to be *some* kind of a page provider, because the system needs to check if e.g. a page exists or not when it encounters a link. The generated HTML differs in each case.

A dummy provider will do just fine, e.g. the MemoryPageProvider.

Hi Ethan,

maybe this can help you:

The problem with the page directory is that I don't want one. I will
be managing the input/output of the text myself. I really just want
to give some wiki markup to the parser and get back html. Is there
currently a way to do this?
