Hello,

 

I'm a newbie with XWiki and I'm mostly experimenting with it so see if and
how we could use it internally.

 

I'm running XWiki 1.9.3.22597 on Tomcat6 with Fedora 11/MySQL 5.1.37 and had
encountered no particular problem except that I have to launch and run the
OpenOffice server externally on a regular account because it would not start
when launched by XWiki. I suspect it's a memory access right issue because
launching manually from the tomcat account I get this

 

-sh-4.0$ /usr/bin/soffice -headless
-accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp; -nofirststartwizard

creation of executable memory area failed: Permission denied

creation of executable memory area failed: Permission denied

creation of executable memory area failed: Permission denied

It's just the way the tomcat account is set I believe. (Seeing no xwiki
user, I assume xwiki is using the tomcat account to launch soffice).

 

I have 3 x questions regarding XWiki:

 

1)      We want to use 'spaces' (no virtual XWiki) to create boundaries
between what users can see. I have created Space A, User A and configured
access rights so that User A can access Space A only. The problem is that
when User A log into XWiki, XWiki returns and error message because User A
tries to land on the main page =>

a.       Can we configure XWiki so that User A automatically lands on Space
A when login ? If yes, how ?

b.      I assume also that performing a search User A will not be able to
see anything out of his user space A. Right ?

 

2)      I have made a quick Groovy/SQL test polling a rather large table out
of an external database and displaying the result into HTML on XWiki.
Scrolling down the dynamically generated XWiki HTML table, I suddenly got
into a black hole or let's say the end of the XWiki web page =>

a.        What is the way in XWiki to control the maximum length/size (or
maximum characters ?) of a Web page ?

 

3)      Is it possible to programmatically add pages into Xwiki based on the
content of an external database. The idea here is to run a script (via Xwiki
scheduler ?) to pull records out of an external database. For each (new)
record, then a new XWiki page would be created which users could edit to
bind their own additional pieces of information. When a database record is
deleted, the corresponding XWiki pages would be move to the 'gone' space.

 

Many Many thanks for your help and for providing us such a powerful tool.

 

Regards,

 

Christobald.
