Re: [xwiki-users] AJAX and Macro
Hi Sergiu,
is there a way
1) to programmatically generate the mentioned wiki document that
generates the data
2) hide this document from the user?
Maybe I should write a servlet instead and register it in xwikis web.xml ?
Thanks,
Stefan.

Hi,
I am very new to xwiki.
I've written a java-macro (implementing the
org.xwiki.rendering.macro.Macro interface), which is generating some
base content.
now, this content should be able to query data from the macro-bean via
ajax-request.
Is that possible? How should the ajax call look like?
Well, a java bean isn't exactly ready to respond to HTTP requests by
itself, so you need to make an intermediary that lies somewhere in the
way of HTTP requests and exposes this data.
There are several ways to do this, depending on how complex you want to
make this interaction.
The best approach I'd advise is to write a scriptable service component
that offers some specific methods you need, and use it inside a wiki
document. Here's a short plan:
1. Write another class that implements
org.xwiki.script.service.ScriptService as a component. See
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/WritingComponents for more
details about writing components (don't forget to declare it in
components.txt). The hint of the component is the name of the service,
so chose something descriptive. Being in Java, you'll find a way to get
hold of your data and manipulate it as you wish. Build and put the jar
in WEB-INF/lib, just like your macro (they can be both in the same jar).
2. Write a wiki document that calls your new scriptable service like:
$service.myServiceName.getMyData() and outputs the data in the desired
format. Don't forget to set the correct content type, so if you're
outputting json put something like this:
$response.setContentType('application/json')
Of course, don't forget to wrap your code inside a {{velocity}} macro.
3. From Javascript make calls to this page using /get/ as the action and
outputSyntax=plain as the query string. Don't hardcode the URL, use
$xwiki.getURL('Service.DocumentName', 'get', 'outputSyntax=plain') to
let the platform give you the correct URL.
Speaking of javascript, for the best practice you should read

Stefan.

Configure the connection to the office server as described on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Application (you have to edit xwiki.properties and restart the XWiki Enterprise server). 3. Connect/start to the office server from the OpenOffice Server administration section. 4. Use the Import menu from the WYSIWYG editor.

Hi Sergiu,

Yes, you can automatically generate it using
org.xwiki.bridge.DocumentAccessBridge.setDocumentContent (check first if
it exists using .exists from the same component).
You can do that in an observation listener that listens to the
ApplicationStartedEvent to do that at startup.
2) hide this document from the user?
Yes, there are two ways of doing that.
1 is to put it in the XWiki space, which is blacklisted (hidden from
normal searches) for simple users. Admins and users that specified in
their profile that they want to be advanced users will still see it
listed in search results and the index.
2 is to mark it as hidden, but that requires calling the oldcore method
com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument.setHidden (and save the document after
that). This will make it really hard to find the document.
Maybe I should write a servlet instead and register it in xwikis web.xml ?
Yes, this is one of the other more complicated ways of doing this. I say
complicated because the first solution requires just putting a jar in
the classpath, while this also requires changes to the web.xml file. The
most recent version of the servlet specification allows servlets to be
declared outside the main web.xml file, making it much easier to extend
the application, but we're still on an older version to support a wider
range of containers.
Thanks,
Stefan.
