Scripting in Pages (1/2){{groovy}}@Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', module='http-builder', version='0.5.1')import groovyx.net.http.*

def http = new HTTPBuilder( 'http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/' )def resp = http.get( path: 'service/local/repositories')

println "|=Name|=Type|=Location"resp.data."repositories-item".each() { println "|${it.name}|${it.repoType}|${it. contentResourceURI}"}{{/groovy}}

Demo

Scripting in Pages (2/2){{velocity}}#set ($xwql = "where doc.content like '%welcome%'")#foreach ($item in $services.query.xwql($xwql).execute()) #if ($request.confirm == "1") #set ($itemDoc = $xwiki.getDocument($item)) $itemDoc.setContent($itemDoc.getContent().replaceAll( "welcome", "bienvenue")) $itemDoc.save("Replaced bienvenue") * [[$item>>$item]] replaced! #else * [[$item>>$item]] #end#end

[[Replace "welcome" by "bienvenue">>?confirm=1]]{{/velocity}}

Why use XWiki?


Pros (1/2)

• Iterative, Need-based development

• Continuous Delivery

• Online immediately (no deployment needed)

• Works from day one, immediate feedbacks


Pros (2/2)

• Work collaboratively on creating applications

• Designers can style while devs create logic

• Open source

• Strong and meritocratic community


Cons• Save code in SCM

• ... but SVN Application

• Low integration with existing dev tools

• ... but XEclipse

• ... but WebDAV

• Not an official standard

• Higher “risk”, less trained devs, etc
