Re: [xwiki-users] Can the User, Developer and Administration guides be downloaded and installed on a local XWiki installation?
Thanks for the response, but this assumes that we always upgrade to the latest version of XWiki. I am not planning on upgrading regularly, so I don't want to see documentation advance ahead of my current installation version of XWiki. I therefore am hoping to 'freeze' the documentation by taking a copy of it in its current form locally. I hope this helps to explain my reasoning.

Re: [xwiki-users] Can the User, Developer and Administration guides be downloaded and installed on a local XWiki installation?
Thanks for the reply Jeremie, but my question still stands. Regardless of continuous improvements to documentation, it would be useful to have a frozen in time version of the documentation to compliment my current deployed version. I can then be confident that my documentation is correct for my version of XWiki. I'm sensing that this is not currently possible or is not going to be supported. It's a shame as it is important to be able to see the relevant documentation for the deployment that users are currently making use of without needing to go to an external site. Besides, it is possible that documentation with advances and changes could be confuse as they may contain irrelevant information from newer XWiki versions that would need to be sifted through in order to find the actual relevant piece of information. I should imagine that this is easily possible through a XAR archive. Couldn't this be an optional download from the XWiki site? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Can-the-User-Developer-and-Administration-guides-be-downloaded-and-installed-on-a-local-XWiki-instal-tp7584369p7584390.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] GlassFish + MySQL + Xwiki
Hirji, Running MySQL is good enough I feel. Using Jetty makes it very easy to start just xwiki because of the packaging. Otherwise, using other servlet containers should work. Many have been using tomcat. We, at curriki, employ the Sun Java Application Server, which is a version earlier than Glassfish, and it is serving very well. My experience was however that exploding the war is necessary in almost all cases (and Glassfish supports this) so as to configure things. paul On 20 mars 2013, at 14:12, Hirji.patel wrote: Hi, ** Not sure if i'm posting this in correct place, as this is my 1st post. ** I have installed GlassFish v 3.1.2.2 + MySQL 5.6 + Xwiki-enterprise-web-5.0.war Not sure if I’m using the correct Java container and DB...

Re: [xwiki-users] GlassFish + MySQL + Xwiki
You didn't tell us if this wiki will be in production (ie, available to many users, requiring to be up most of the time, with proper backup of data, etc...) or if it's only a test wiki for you, for example. If it's only for tests, the standalone wiki with jetty + hsqldb is good enough, for production jetty is not recommended by xwiki I believe. I can only give you a personal feedback : I have a wiki (in production) with Tomcat 6 + MySql 5.1, with db attachments. The wiki has around 15000 pages now, and 1,6Go of attachments content in db (including all versions of course). I plan to move to filesystem attachments, because during the course and upgrades (this wiki started several years ago with version 0.9), some attachments got corrupted for any reason, and it might be easier to avoid/detect/repair with filesystem based attachments than db. Apart from that, it works pretty well. I don't think servlet container will have a big impact on the way big attachments are managed, apart from possible limitations specific to each container if they exist.

Hi, At the moment the safest way to go is Tomcat + MySQL. If you go with Tomcat, make sure you set it to use UTF8 encoding, since the default configuration of Tomcat is not UTF8.

Re: [xwiki-users] Recommendations on writing automated functional tests for xar extensions ?
Hi Jeremie, We have started moving functional tests from xwiki-enterprise to xwiki-platform so that they are grouped by functional domain. Thus xwiki-enterprise-test-ui is not the best example. You should take a look at the platform modules that have functional tests: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/tree/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-administration https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/tree/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-faq https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/tree/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-index to name a few. The packager maven plugin is taking care of importing (installing) your XAR and (I believe) adding the required jar dependencies to the WAR. You should follow this practice.

To do that, I decided to try and plug myself in xwiki test framework, in order to avoid redeveloping everything (such as deploying / launching an xwiki instance from the tests). I added 2 modules in my project: - xwiki-contrib-mailarchive-test-pageobjects - xwiki-contrib-mailarchive-test-ui Both inherit from org.xwiki.enterprise:xwiki-enterprise-test pom, and are greatly inspired from poms of xwiki-enterprise-test-pageobjects and xwiki-enterprise-test-ui poms. It's unfinished and untested, but I believe I'll be able to have xwiki instance installed, launched, and tests run automatically. My main question, is how should I do in order to also deploy my app in this wiki instance prior to run the tests ? For now I have several possible solutions that come to my mind, but I don't know what would be the best... : A- - grab xwiki-standalone zip version x.y.z, unzip it, launch it - make EM install my application (call some REST API ? GET some page with proper parameters ?) - run the tests B- - grab xwiki-standalone zip version x.y.z, unzip it - patch it in some way with my application binaries, (ie, add things directly under permanent directory / extension / repository ?) - launch it and run the tests I personnally prefer A-, but it supposes also that the xwiki instance knows any of my dev maven repositories (either my local repository .m2, or my local instance of Nexus), so it would mean an additional step would be to patch the standalone wiki xwiki.properties to add my personal repo. Or maybe I can add such repo programmatically in the wiki instance from java by looking up and using the right component ? Maybe this point has already been solved by anyone, so if you have any samples it would be good enough. I did not search exhaustively, but I don't remember having seen such use-cases on existing extensions on github. Also, I think it might be interesting to extract from all this some kind of maven archetype for functional testing of UI extension ? So contributors could just call the archetype and get everything properly prepared, and just have to add page objects and tests for their app ... WDYT ?

See http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5575 . The viewattachrev action is needed for attachments of the context document because attachments are also versioned and when you view a revision of a document you want to view the version of the attached images from that revision. I get the point! Thank you very much for the explanation. Please, Marius, could it be possible to substitute the old XWikiServletURLFactory.java class with the new one in xwiki-core-2.4.jar and keep running XWiki Enterprise 2.4.30451? You can try taking XWikiServletURLFactory.class from xwiki-core-2.5.jar and put it in WEB-INF/classes where you have deployed XWiki (under the same path as in the jar, i.e. the class package) but it might not work properly because it may contain other changes besides XWIKI-5575 which are not compatible with the xwiki-core-2.4.jar. Understood. Your best option is to patch the xwiki-core.2.4.jar. It's quite easy if you're not afraid of Git and Maven: Well, I'm not afraid of these tools, but I'm not a maven myself! Some years ago I was much closer than now to understand how XWiki development does work :-) But I keep trying! Always with your help. Thanks! Use this to checkout the code. Note that will will take a while, depending on your bandwidth. $ git clone git://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform.git $ cd xwiki-platform xwiki-platform$ git checkout xwiki-core-2.4 xwiki-platform$ git cherry-pick c08cca8cae375ea306b071fedbae3b1809261126 xwiki-platform$ cd xwiki-core xwiki-platform/xwiki-core$ mvn clean install xwiki-platform/xwiki-core$ mv target/xwiki-core-2.4.jar target/xwiki-core-2.4-XWIKI-5575.jar Having known CVS and Subversion, GitHub seems as the great evolution that will ease democratic contributions to software development projects, big and small ones. It seems simply great even though I will need some some time to fully understand it! Thanks for your help! Make sure you use the same Java version as the one running your application server. Ummm... I'm afraid my application server is the only one running java version 1.5.0 over here! I'm looking for a suitable box. In the mean time, I'm trying to understand how the team Git/Maven works! Note that I tried to patch xwiki-core 2.4 myself, but I have Java 1.7, and besides the version, it seems the build requires Sun/Oracle JDK (there's a backward compatibility aspect that uses com.sun.* classes). The build should pass on Sun/Oracle JDK 1.5 though. I'm lost at this point. I've built xwiki-core-2.4.jar in a Mac OS X box running... java -version java version 1.6.0_43 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-10M4203) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode) And moved it to a different box running Suse Linux and... peat:~ # java -version java version 1.5.0 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build pxi32devifx-20100511a (SR11 FP2 )) IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 Linux x86-32 j9vmxi3223ifx-20100510 (JIT enabled) J9VM - 20100509_57823_lHdSMr JIT - 20091016_1845ifx7_r8 GC - 20091026_AA) JCL - 20100511a peat:~ # And it seems it is working fine.

Ricardo I'm following http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building, but it is not clear to me how must I check out the code. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8, thus I've no option to run GitHub. So, please, where could I learn how to use Git to checkout the code? See above. It's a matter of 1 command line. I found this...
