Hi Sergiu, I happen to use Tomcat 6.0.18 as the servlet container and JDK 1.6. But I also chanced upon this article while digging for more info: http://blog.spaceprogram.com/2007/05/how-to-fix-linkageerror-when-using-jaxb .html http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/standards/ I am trying to fix this using the endorsed library mechanism. It seems only JDK 1.6 would have the java.lang.LinkageError and not JDK 1.5. Will keep you posted once this is done.

Re: [xwiki-users] Grid/LiveTable edit restrictions
Radek Rekas wrote: Hi, I'd like to use the Grid/LiveTable components to list data and create links to edit pages for that data. I would also like to add restrictions so that only users who created that data can edit it. Hi, You can display easily your wiki pages using the live table and configure the data source to match your needs. My suggestion would be to modify the creation step for any wiki page that you want to list in your live table. Just attach an XWiki.XWikiRights object and set the edit rights only for the current user(which is also the document creator) when creating the new page. You can find a useful code snippet here: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/SettingRightsSnippet Hope this helps, Oana From my understanding it is not possible to restrict edits for individual xwiki class objects to only users who created that object (along with an administrator user) as edit permissions can only be set at the page level and not at the individual object level. The solution I was thinking about was to create a new page for each record then restrict edit permissions at the page level. This would however require me to aggregate all of the xwiki class objects on a single page so that they could be used with the grid/LiveTable component. I can't however see a way of doing this. Is this possible or is there a better way of doing this?

but now when people go to edit their pages they do not get a drop down for the
Edit button. You can only click edit and it brings you to the Wysiwyg editor.
If there are links to other pages in the page we are editing and when we try to
save you get the below error. When you try to switch to Wiki edit mode on the
right hand side you get the same error. How can we fix this?? Really need some
help here. Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki RESTful API issue on localhost
Finally, I have a working version of the code to access the Xwiki RESTful
API.
It worked smooth on a Tomcat 6.0.14 + JDK 1.5 machine. But had to make
certain changes to the bootstrap files for JDK 1.6 as I mentioned in the
previous post. I have used the Apache HTTP HTTPClient 3.1 jar files here but
soon will upgrade that to Apache HTTPClient 4.0. The only change in the code
from the one posted at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI are the
lines Unmarshaller un = context.createUnmarshaller(); and the line Page page
= (Page) ((JAXBElement)
un.unmarshal(getMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream())).getValue();
The default object that getMethod returns turned out to be a JAXBElement
rather than a Page object. Hence, had to do some class casting.
A big thanks to Fabio Mancinelli Sergiu Dumitriu for helping me out on
this one.
Just one more request though. Do we cast the
getMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream() to Tags class (if we want to retrieve a
list of pages based on their tags) or the SearchResults class (if we want to
retrieve pages returned through a page search). Even though, I cast the
getMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream to the tags class, my compiler still
throws an error for class cast exception : org.xwiki.Pages. Could someone
please post a snippet to access pages with specific tags or any other
complex querying using classes in the org.xwiki classes. Any help on this
would be greatly appreciated friends.

Check if the user profile is set to simple edit mode. Try switching to
advanced edit mode instead. See
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HSimpleandAdvancededitionmodes
Even in simple edit mode you can force the Edit button to load the wiki
editor by going to Administration General and setting Default Editor
to use to Text.
Also, it's good to know that you can also force the wiki editor by using
a URL like edit/Space/Page?editor=wiki .

Regarding the WYSIWYG issue, can you tell me what browser are you using
and, if the issue is easily reproducible, can you give me an example of
wiki text that fails to be saved by the WYSIWYG editor?
