| 23 | = For Developers = | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | == New reference related APIs == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | Various new API around references has been introduced while adding support for nested spaces: | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * Complete references Providers (for DocumentReference, SpaceReference and WikiReference) with default or ##current## hints. They allow getting complete reference created from each default or current part of those references (for example in SpaceReference you end up with the space of the XWikiContext document and the XWikiContext wiki)((( | ||
| 30 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 31 | @Inject | ||
| 32 | Provider<DocumentReference> defaultDocumentReference; | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | @Inject | ||
| 35 | @Named("current") | ||
| 36 | Provider<DocumentReference> currentDocumentReference; | ||
| 37 | {{/code}} | ||
| 38 | ))) | ||
| 39 | * ##org.xwiki.model.reference.EntityReferenceProvider## to replace ##org.xwiki.model.reference.EntityReferenceValueProvider## which is essentially the same thing but with ##EntityReference## instead of string which allow getting multiple spaces when you ask for the current ##EntityType.SPACE## for example.((( | ||
| 40 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 41 | @Inject | ||
| 42 | EntityReferenceProvider provider; | ||
| 43 | {{/code}} | ||
| 44 | ))) | ||
| 45 | * ##com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki#getDocument(EntityReference)## and ##com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki#getDocument(EntityReference)## support any kind of reference properly (e.g. a space reference will return the space home page, an object reference will return the object document reference, etc) | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | == New readonly XWikiContext provider == | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | You can inject a new "readonly" XWikiContext the following way: | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 52 | @Inject | ||
| 53 | @Named("readonly") | ||
| 54 | Povider<XWikiContext> roXWikiContextProvider; | ||
| 55 | {{/code}} | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | The difference with default provider is that the readonly one won'ttry to create a new XWikiContext and will return null if it can't find any. It's been introduce for some low level components that were used during XWikiContext creation but in general it should be used by any component that only search for some XWikiContext property that might be null even in a valid XWikiContext. | ||

Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
