I've updated that playground page with the actual URL of the API I'm using - you'll see that the page comes back blank, but if you follow the link in the browser, you get a page full of XML. So there must be something about the data that the API is returning that XWiki doesn't like?
Agreed on using final releases - a full upgrade to 7.x is actually planned soon. If I remember correctly, we got stuck on RC1 during the last production upgrade cycle because there was some feature in 6.2 that we really needed but the final release was still a few weeks out by our deadline so we rolled the dice. Fortunately we haven't run into many issues - which is probably why we're running behind on the upgrade :) On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 12:56 PM, vinc...@massol.net <vinc...@massol.net> wrote: > Seems to be working fine on > http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Aaron > > Maybe there was a problem specifically on 6.2RC1 (BTW better use some > final releases…:)).
