Re: [xwiki-users] Create spaces and page in toplevel space via Java component

Thanks this was exactly what I was looking for. The new structure did cause
some confusion. The "WebHome" concept was confusing until I read the links. 

Thank for clarifying that.

[xwiki-users] Create spaces and page in toplevel space via Java component

[gervwyk]

Hello.
How would I create a new space under Main or the toplevel entity from a java
component. So far I'm doing this, but not sure.. 

DocumentReference docref = new
DocumentReference(serverName,pageSpace,pageName);
if(xwiki.exists( docref, xcontext)){
//skip create do other stuff
}else{ 
   XWikiDocument doc = new XWikiDocument(docref);
   doc.setTitle(pageName);
   DocumentReference docrefparent = new
DocumentReference(serverName,pageSpace,"WebHome");
   doc.setParentReference(docrefparent);
   xwiki.saveDocument(doc, xcontext);
}
Where:
serverName = $request.serverName
pageSpace = "Main"
pageName = "NewPage"

is there anything else I need to set on the document or am I referencing
wrong? Not sure why it is not creating the page..

The first parameter is the wiki name, not the server name. If I print
$request.serverName in Velocity I get "localhost" which is not the wiki
name ("xwiki" for the main wiki in my case). $xcontext.database should give
you the name of the current wiki.

Hope this helps,
Marius

Hi,

Depending on what you want to achieve, you could create various types of
pages:

- Top level document (non-terminal): new DocumentReference("myWiki",
"myTopLevelPage", "WebHome")
- Second level document (non-terminal), under the "Main" space: new
DocumentReference("myWiki", Arrays.asList("Main", "SecondLevelPage"),
"WebHome")
- Deeper level document (non-terminal): new DocumentReference("myWiki",
Arrays.asList("TopLevelParentPage", "SecondLevelParentPage", ,
"MyDeeperLevelPage"), "WebHome")

- Top level terminal document, under the "Main" space: new
DocumentReference("myWiki", "Main", "MyTerminalPage")
- Deeper level terminal document: new DocumentReference("myWiki",
Arrays.asList("TopLevelParentPage", "SecondLevelParentPage", ,
"MyDeeperLevelParent"), "MyTerminalPage")

There are various signatures of the DocumentReference constructor [1], the
general rules are that:
* you need to know if you are creating a terminal or a non-terminal
document and
* to understand that:
** the name of the non-terminal document is actually the last space name
(in its document reference, with the page name always being "WebHome") and
that
** the name of a terminal document is simply its page name (in its document
reference).

Also note that in 7.2 we have deprecated the parent-child notion and that
the setParentReference call you are performing is now deprecated (will go
away soon). The parent of a document is now resulting from its reference
[2].

Hope this helped and that it did not confuse you more :)
-Eduard
