Hi Nithya,
As Sergiu rightly said, an XWiki user is just another document/Page with a
XWiki.XWikiUser object associated to it.
Hope the following example helps you in creating users using XMLRPC.
Please note that I have only been able to create a user. Setting the
password is something I did not have much luck with.
Probably, the XMLRPC API method to set the password property stores the
password in plain text when in fact XWiki expects passwords which are
hashed.
I hope someone on the mailing list could help by providing the code snippet
to update password using XMLRPC. Once, that is done, we can save this
example at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPCJavaExamples
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException;
import org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.Page;
import org.xwiki.xmlrpc.XWikiXmlRpcClient;
import org.xwiki.xmlrpc.model.XWikiObject;
public class CreateUser {
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException,
XmlRpcException {
//URL of the xwiki instance
String url = http://localhost:8080/xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence;;
//Replace user pass with desired xwiki username password
String user = Admin;
String pass = admin;
XWikiXmlRpcClient rpc = new XWikiXmlRpcClient(url);
try {
//Perform Login Authentication
rpc.login(user, pass);
//Create a Page to hold the user profile set it's three
important attributes viz. Space, Title, Content
//Set the space=XWiki since all XWiki users go to
XWiki space by default
//Set title to the username of the user. In our
case, username=testuser
//Set content to include the XWikiUserSheet.
//Without this the user Page will come up blank and
no fields will be displayed
Page page = new Page();
page.setSpace(XWiki);
page.setTitle(testuser);
page.setId(XWiki.testuser);
page.setContent({{include
document=\XWiki.XWikiUserSheet\/}});
rpc.storePage(page);
//Create a XWikiObject and set the class to
XWiki.XWikiUsers
//Set the host Page as XWiki.testuser. This is the
page we created in the steps above
//Set the first_name last_name properties with
values Test and User respectively
//We can access the list of all properties for a
User class at the following link:
//http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiUsers?editor=class
//Finally, save the object using rpc.storeObject
XWikiObject xobj = new XWikiObject();
xobj.setClassName(XWiki.XWikiUsers);
xobj.setPageId(XWiki.testuser);
xobj.setProperty(first_name, Test);
xobj.setProperty(last_name, User);
rpc.storeObject(xobj);
} catch (XmlRpcException e) {
System.out.println(e);
} finally {
rpc.logout();
}
}
}

Hi All,
Is there any sample available to create a user through XML RPC like the
examples in the following link for creation of page, space etc..
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPCJavaExamples
Please help me out if there any solution.
Thanks,

A user is just like any other document+object. Just do what's usually
done for creating a new document and adding a XWiki.XWikiUsers object.
Don't forget to add the user to the groups you want.
