Re: [xwiki-users] Display external data using LiveTable Macro
Hi Ryszard, If you want to query external URLs you will need to proxy the requests. The url parameter is limited by browsers same origin policy. To proxy the request you can have a result page with a groovy script that makes the HTTP requests to the external URL and outputs it. It has a performance cost, though, since it means 2 requests where you would do only one with an internal URL. Another alternative is to make the livetable support JSON with padding technique (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON#JSONP) ; it's not very complex, it just needs an alternative method to fetch the data (instead of AJAX request) + an option to activate this method. Though it's a bit touchy security-wise, not sure we would want to have this available by default (but could be discussed). Jerome. - Ryszard Łach ryl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi!

Re: [xwiki-users] Display external data using LiveTable Macro
2010/5/11 Guillaume Lerouge guilla...@xwiki.com Have you looked at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/LiveTable too? Yes, it wasn't very helpful for me. I expected, that it would be easy possible to write a small piece of code to fetch some rows from an external table and use LiveTable macro. After some tests I realized, that the logic of paging, fetching next result sets etc. won't work, If I simply generate JSON output from some CGI script - it is at the LiveResults' side. Finally we will use XLM-RPC api to create pages with objects of our xwiki class and use this class with LiveTable macro. Thanks, R. -- First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you.
