Description

This is a technical module, for XWiki developers.

It offers some Model interfaces that don't make you depend on xwiki-platform-oldcore at compile time, such as:

  • DocumentAccessBridge: exposes methods for accessing Document data, returning DocumentModelBridge to represent a Document.
  • SkinAccessBridge: exposes methods for accessing Skin data.
  • XWiki 14.0+ DocumentAuthors to manipulate the different authors of a document.

It also provides lots of Events that are useful when you wish to write an EventListener (see tutorial). Note that the "Source" and "Data" column below correspond to the parameters of the EventListener.onEvent(Event event, Object source, Object data) call.

  • Document-related events:
    Event NameSourceDataDescription
    DocumentCreatingEventXWikiDocument objectXWikiContext objectSent when a Document is being created, before it's saved to the store. This gives you the ability to modify the Document before the save or even cancel the save altogether (since 8.0M1)
    DocumentCreatedEventXWikiDocument objectXWikiContext objectSent after the Document has been created and saved. Allows you to perform extra actions (index the content, run some code, etc)
    DocumentDeletingEventXWikiDocument objectXWikiContext objectSent when a Document is being deleted, before it's deleted from the store.
    DocumentDeletedEventXWikiDocument objectXWikiContext objectSent after the Document has been deleted from the store.
    DocumentUpdatingEventXWikiDocument objectXWikiContext objectSent when a Document is being modified, before it's saved to the store. This gives you the ability to modify the Document further before the save or even cancel the save altogether (since 8.0M1)
    DocumentUpdatedEventXWikiDocument objectXWikiContext objectSent after the Document has been saved.
    DocumentRollingBackEventXWikiDocument objectXWikiContext objectSent before a Document is rolled-back.

    WikiCreateFailedEventwiki id (String)XWikiContext objectSent when a wiki has failed to be created
    WikiCopiedEventwiki id (String)XWikiContext objectSent after a wiki has been copied. Note that this event is an Event that predates the wiki provisioning concept and it's not sent when provisioning

    WikiProvisioningEventwiki id (String)XWikiContext objectSent before a wiki has been provisioned (i.e. before the content of the wiki has been filled), during the wiki creation process

  • Other types of events:
