Hi, My problem is still unresolved. I have followed the suggestions from the FAQ post: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowToListDocumentsWithACertainPropertyValue
And rewrote the code as follows: #set($query="select obj from BaseObject obj where obj.className='Contacts.ContactClass'") #set($results=$xwiki.search($query, 10, 1)) #foreach($item in $results) #set($doc=$xwiki.getDocument($item)) #set($obj=$doc.getObject('Cotacts.ContactClass')) #set($firstname=$obj.getProperty('firstname').value) #set($surname=$obj.getProperty('surname').value) #set($phone1=$obj.getProperty('phone1').value) $firstname | $surname | $phone1 <br /> #end With the result: $firstname | $surname | $phone1 $firstname | $surname | $phone1 I should add that I would have been confused if the above had worked. Please let me know if my understanding of the object model is correct: a) A class definition is essentially a special type of wiki page that defines the class structure (i.e. properties). b) No more than 1 class definition can be contained in this special type of page. c) Objects are instances of these classes and must be associate with a page. (Can a single object be associated with more than 1 page?) d) Multiple objects can be associated with a wiki page. e) An HQL query iterates through the wiki pages, through each object in each page and each property in each object d) An HQL query specifying page/document constraints returns a Java List of documents e) An HQL query specifying object constraints returns a Java List of objects (does not seem to be the case from the above code?!) f) An HQL query specifying property constraints returns a Java List of properties Regards, Tjaart On 15/04/2008, [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Tjaart, all, > > > Tjaart van Wijck wrote: > > I have created the class Contacts.ContactClass.
