Load/Save JSP Wiki pages

[Markus Friedrich <fr...@freenet.de>]

Dear JSP Wiki Developers,

i want to create a sandbox of a JSP Wiki (like 
http://sandbox.jspwiki.org/). I thought the easiest way would be to 
override the directory of the wikipages every night. As a special 
feature, i want to create a plugin which gives the user the opportunity 
to save/load all wikipages. Is there anything similar i could use or has 
anyone else developed such a feature?

Best regards,
Markus Friedrich

Here's the script which powers sandbox.jspwiki.org. Run from cron :-)

---------------------
#!/bin/sh

USERNAME=MyName
PASSWD=MyPassword

WWWROOT=/p/web/www-data/sandbox.jspwiki.org/
WIKIPAGES=${WWWROOT}/wikipages/
CONTENTS=${WWWROOT}/JSPWiki-samplepages.zip
WORKDIR=${WWWROOT}/workdir/

wget --http-user=${USERNAME} --http-passwd=${PASSWD} -O - http://sandbox.jspwiki.org/manager/html/stop?path=/ 
  >/dev/null

cd ${WIKIPAGES} && rm -rf -- * && unzip ${CONTENTS}
cd ${WORKDIR} && rm -rf -- *
cd ${WWWROOT}/webapps/JSPWiki/WEB-INF/ && rm -f userdatabase.xml*  
groupdatabase.xml*

wget --http-user=${USERNAME} --http-passwd=${PASSWD} -O - http://sandbox.jspwiki.org/manager/html/start?path=/ 
  >/dev/null

You need to have the Tomcat manager enabled, of course. Works with  
VersioningFileProvider. Has worked without change from 2.4 to 2.8,  
probably earlier too. Tweak as necessary to fix to your environment  
(at least the ?path=/ might need something).

HTH, Janne
