Hi,
Please, as an new XWiki *user* is created as a new instance of
XWiki.XWikiUser class, what class is instantiated to create a new XWiki
*document*?
There is a difference between XWiki classes and Java classes.
OK. XWiki classes are simulated using the underlying relational
database schema. Please, is that correct?
XWiki/XWikiClasses gives me a least of XWiki classes. Data type and
XWiki class are used as synonymes?
XWiki Java classes (http://tinyurl.com/324qsfg) are in xwiki-core-*.jar
libraries in the servlet container webapps directory /xwiki/WEB-INF/lib.
'XWiki.XWikiUsers' class is an XWiki class and when a new user is
The read the properties of an XWiki class, all I have to do is to use
?editor=object to edit any document with an object of that class attached.
When I attach a XWiki class to a given document, can I say that I

created, a new XWiki document is created and an object of type
'XWiki.XWikiUsers' is attached to that XWiki document.
A default XWiki document has no object of an XWiki class type attached.
But, any XWiki instance is built on the top of the XWiki platform -
written in Java (see the API reference:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/API/) .
So, an XWiki document is an instance of type Document (see Document
class inside the platform API).
Is a XWiki document an instance of XWiki Java class Document? Can each
document instantiate any number of XWiki classes?
I know I can not want to learn Java and objected-oriented programming by
getting answer here! Please, accept my apologies if I am giving this
impression. I'm getting the idea that, at least, some times, words are
used with different meanings depending on the context and/or the site.
It could be obvious for experienced developers when these words are
correctly used and when they aren't. But my feeling is that this kind of
problems is avoiding that more people get access to programming skills
within the XWiki framework. I'll keep trying to understand the
architecture (I don't forget this
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Architecture/WebHome)
and, I hope, some day, I can explain it to others! :-)
Thank you so much!
