Re: [xwiki-users] Creating class properties with groovy
Similar question has appeared in this list earlier with no good answer.
Though I suspect, this approach seems necessary is due to weak design.
Can you describe use case why it seems necessary in place of database
list,
where you can set hql query for filtering necessary elements?

Essentially I'm creating a sort of template for a space that I will want to
duplicate later. I have scripts that create objects from a spreadsheet
specifically for a certain class in this space.
Rather than duplicating the class by hand on the next space I want these
scripts/objects on, I'd like to be able to quickly and safely duplicate the
class, so I wanted to write a quick groovy script to do it.
If there is an easier way of doing this, I'd appreciate any ideas.

I want to create properties for a new class on a blank document with
groovy. I can do the following:
def doc = xwiki.getDocument(space.docname)
c = doc.getxWikiClass();
and look at elements of a class that already exists by doing:
prop = c.get('propertyname')
propToEdit = prop.getPropertyClass
propToEdit.setValues('a|b|c')
But, how can I add a new property to a class that has no existing
properties/fields?
Thanks,
-Mike

Re: [xwiki-users] Creating class properties with groovy
It wouldn't work to copy the document with the class into each space?
If I were to go about creating classes, I would use the same technique that the
XWiki core
uses to create the comments class.
Note that you will have to have programming rights and in groovy or velocity
you will need to
call doc.getDocument() to get the underlying XWikiDocument.
Example:
public BaseClass getCommentsClass(XWikiContext context) throws
XWikiException
{
XWikiDocument doc;
boolean needsUpdate = false;
doc = getDocument(XWiki.XWikiComments, context);
BaseClass bclass = doc.getXClass();
if (context.get(initdone) != null) {
return bclass;
}
bclass.setName(XWiki.XWikiComments);
needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField(author, Author, 30);
needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField(highlight, Highlighted Text,
40, 2);
needsUpdate |= bclass.addNumberField(replyto, Reply To, 5,
integer);
needsUpdate |= bclass.addDateField(date, Date);
needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField(comment, Comment, 40, 5);
needsUpdate |= setClassDocumentFields(doc, XWiki Comment Class);
if (needsUpdate) {
saveDocument(doc, context);
}
return bclass;
}

Have you tried copying the document holding the class?
