This is the second milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 4.2 version (Roadmap). This release adds support for storing an email address and a list of wiki page names in XWiki objects using dedicated xclass property types. It also adds the ability to have an object property whose value is computed from the other properties. For developers this release introduces default custom displayers for easier customization of the way XWiki object properties are displayed.

New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 4.2 Milestone 1)

New field types for email and list of pages

Two new types of class properties have been added:

The Email type extends the normal String type, adding by default a validation regular expression that should accept only a valid email address
The Page type extends the normal DBList type, and allows to select one or more documents from the current wiki

These two new properties are still in development, and further improvements will be implemented in the next milestone.

Computed class fields

Another new type of class fields adds support for virtual values computed live from other class values, data from the database, data obtained from an external service, or practically any other source of data. These fields are non-editable and aren't stored in the database, since they only provide some wiki content that will be rendered each time such a property is displayed.

Traditionally, this kind of computation would have been written directly in the sheet used to display instances of that class, but putting it in a class field allows easier reuse of the code, since the property will be displayed in livetables, when indexing the document in Lucene, when displaying documents in an index page, and so on.

Improvements to the Extension Repository Application

We modified the extension sheet to display the release notes for all the available versions of an extension. Check for instance the release notes for the Extended TODO Application:

Improvements to Extension Manager

An administrator of a subwiki can now install XAR extension (as long as it does not require a JAR extension).

For Developers

Default custom displayers for Easier customization of the way object fields are displayed

While XWiki allowed to specify a custom display for a given field, it was impossible to change the way field types, such as DateProperty or IntegerProperty, are displayed in general. Now it is possible to define custom displayers at the farm or wiki level, which gives the administrators more power to change the look and feel of the wiki. For example, this allows to use HTML5 input types for dates and numbers, to use custom suggestions for list of users fields, or to always add a validation input for all the password field types.

To use this feature, first you need to compute a type name for your property type. This is obtained from the java class simple name, removing the Class suffix, and lowercasing. For example, for numbers the java class used is com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.NumberClass, with the simple name NumberClass, which gives number as the type name. For a database list, we get dblist from DBListClass.

Next, there are three places where a default custom displayer can be defined.

If a document whose name is the type capitalized and suffixed with Displayer exists in the XWiki space in the current wiki, then its content is used as the default custom displayer for that type of property. For example, localwiki:XWiki.NumberDisplayer and localwiki:XWiki.DblistDisplayer.
If a document whose name is the type capitalized and suffixed with Displayer exists in the XWiki space in the main wiki, then its content is used as the default custom displayer for that type of property. For example, xwiki:XWiki.NumberDisplayer and xwiki:XWiki.DblistDisplayer.
If a velocity template whose name is the type suffixed with .vm exists in the current skin, then it is evaluated as the default custom displayer for that type of property. A skin file can be defined in many places, such as an attachment of a skin document, a file in a named skin on the filesystem, or a file in the templates/ directory.

If a specific class property provides custom display code in the XClass, then that code takes priority over an eventual default custom displayer for that property.

As with property custom displayers, when evaluating the display code several objects are placed in the context:

name is the name of the property being displayed
prefix is the HTML name prefix to append to an eventual input field name, and contains the XClass name, an underscore, the object number, and another underscore, for example XWiki.XWikiUsers_0_
object is the object owning the displayed property, an instance of the public com.xpn.xwiki.api.Object class
type is the target display type, one of view, edit, hidden or search

New API to manipulate log level

Several method as been added to org.xwiki.logging.LoggerManager to manipulate the log level of registered loggers.

    /**
     * Associate the passed logger to the passed log level.
     * 
     * @param loggerName the logger
     * @param level the level of the logger
     */
    void setLoggerLevel(String loggerName, LogLevel level);

    /**
     * @param loggerName the logger
     * @return the log level associated to the logger
     */
    LogLevel getLoggerLevel(String loggerName);

    /**
     * @return all the registered loggers
     */
    Collection<Logger> getLoggers();

Upgrades

The following dependencies have been upgraded:

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above.

Always make sure you compare your xwiki.cfg and xwiki.properties files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. 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.

API Breakages

The following APIs were modified since 4.1.3:

The logging module is new and is still considered a "young API". Added new methods to manipulate loggers levels.

org.xwiki.logging.LoggerManager: Method 'public org.xwiki.logging.LogLevel getLoggerLevel(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.logging.LoggerManager: Method 'public java.util.Collection getLoggers()' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.logging.LoggerManager: Method 'public void setLoggerLevel(java.lang.String, org.xwiki.logging.LogLevel)' has been added to an interface

The Job module is new and is still considered a "young API". Moved from Exception to Throwable parameter for extending jobs. Also added two new methods to check and remove custom properties.

org.xwiki.job.AbstractJob: Parameter 1 of 'protected void jobFinished(java.lang.Exception)' has changed its type to java.lang.Throwable
org.xwiki.job.Request: Method 'public boolean containsProperty(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.job.Request: Method 'public java.lang.Object removeProperty(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface

New InstalledExtension#isValid() method.

org.xwiki.extension.InstalledExtension: Method 'public boolean isValid(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface

The Extension module is relatively new and is still undergoing some API tuning. New method to access environment extension. Also added new methods to execute custom checking before installing/uninstalling an extension.

org.xwiki.extension.repository.CoreExtensionRepository: Method 'public org.xwiki.extension.CoreExtension getEnvironmentExtension()' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.extension.handler.ExtensionHandler: Method 'public void checkInstall(org.xwiki.extension.Extension, java.lang.String, org.xwiki.job.Request)' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.extension.handler.ExtensionHandler: Method 'public void checkUninstall(org.xwiki.extension.InstalledExtension, java.lang.String, org.xwiki.job.Request)' has been added to an interface

Fix method name typo (adding new method). This interface is not really supposed to be implemented except by internal class.
```
org.xwiki.properties.PropertyDescriptor: Method 'public java.lang.reflect.Field getField()' has been added to an interface
```

Added method to get the author of the macro.

org.xwiki.rendering.macro.wikibridge.WikiMacro: Method 'public org.xwiki.model.reference.DocumentReference getAuthorReference()' has been added to an interface

Add a method to the oldcore/wikimacro bridge.

org.xwiki.rendering.macro.wikibridge.WikiMacroFactory: Method 'public boolean isAllowed(org.xwiki.model.reference.DocumentReference, org.xwiki.rendering.macro.wikibridge.WikiMacroVisibility)' has been added to an interface

These classes below have never been used. It was supposed to be the start of the removal of Struts but since it hasn't progressed so far we're removing stray code from master. Experiments should be done on feature branches.
```
org.xwiki.container.servlet.XWikiServlet: Class org.xwiki.container.servlet.XWikiServlet removed
```
Removed protected method (registerWikiMacros) that was not supposed to be used from outside (was protected for unit tests hacks).
```
com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki: Method 'protected void registerWikiMacros()' has been removed
```

Chart plugin has been moved from oldcore to its own module. There's no API breakage for the user.

com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.charts.Chart: Class com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.charts.Chart removed
