Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Retire XMLRPC (RESULT)

[vinc...@massol.net]

Results: 7 +1, no 0 and no -1

The vote is passed and I’ve already implemented the first part in 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12602

I’m waiting for a 7.3M1 release before moving the code in contrib, that’s 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12605

Thanks

Hi devs,

I’d like that we retire the XMLRPC feature of XWiki. 

Rationale:
* We now have a REST API
* The XMLRPC API is pretty old now, doesn’t support Nested Spaces, see 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-1249

The idea would be to:
* Step 1: Relocate the code in an optional module (in addition to or inside one 
of the existing xmlrpc modules). This means handling some code currently in 
oldcore + update web.xml
* Step 2: Move the optional xmlrpc modules to the github contrib organization
* Step 3: Update documentation on xwiki.org and add an entry on e.x.o (move doc 
from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC in it).

Note that this will mean that XOffice will require users to install XMLRPC 
first if they want to try using it. Not a problem IMO. It’s also possible that 
the same will apply to XEclipse (or not) as I don’t remember if we had moved 
the code to use REST or not.

WDYT?

Here’s my +1

Thanks
-Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] Export page with history as XAR which includes histories

[Ghosh, Amrita]

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for your response. Looks like the documentation here: 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Exports is wrong and needs to 
be updated.

The following URL worked and it successfully downloaded XAR which includes 
histories:

https://SERVER/bin/export/Main/testpage?format=xar=Main.testpage=xwiki%3AMain.withhist=true

Based on the documentation I expected 
https://SERVER/xwiki/bin/export/Space/Page?format=xar=Main.testpage=true
 to work but it does not work.

The correct URL can be generated by right clicking on the “Export as XAR” 
button on the UI. Then query string parameter “history=true” needs to be added 
to export the history (otherwise it just exports the last version).

Thanks,
Amrita

Hi Amrita,

I’ve tried to reproduce your problem but couldn’t. I’ve found another problem 
though which I’ve fixed: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12607


What version of XWiki are you using?

Have you checked the XWiki logs to see if anything is printed there?

Thanks
-Vincent

This command did not work. I am seeing message "A problem occurred while trying

on the page and status 304 (Not Modified) on the browser.

Can someone please let me know how I can export a page with histories as XAR 
which includes all its history information?

Thanks,
