Description
At the moment the only API provided is one to generate and retrieve an id unique per XWiki instance. This can be used to identify uniquely a XWiki instance, even across restarts and across upgrades since the unique id is stored in XWiki's database.
To get the InstanceIdManager:
private Provider<InstanceIdManager> idManagerProvider;
Note the usage of a Provider. This is required only when the component in which you're injecting the Instance Id Manager is loaded before the XWiki Store has been initialized.
The API is:
{
/**
* @return the Instance id or null if it isn't set
*/
InstanceId getInstanceId();
}
Script service
Getting the XWiki instance id:
$services.instance.getInstanceId()
{{/velocity}}
