This repo is not maintained anymore. (You can get in touch with me if you would like to take ownership of it).
Since the 2022 release of Dokuwiki (perhaps even the 2020 release, I don't remember exactly) the handling of xml-rpc by dokuwiki seems a bit flaky. Subsequently testing dokujclient became pretty tedious (and it's also not clear how many people are still using this xml-rpc interface). That's why I'm reallocating my time to other projects.
Dokujclient is both a command line tool to interact with instances of Dokwiki, and a Java library for Dokuwiki xmlrpc interface which is also compatible with Android.
Currently tested with:
- Hogfather (dokuwiki-2020-07-29)
- Greebo (dokuwiki-2018-04-22)
- Frusterick Manners (dokuwiki-2017-02-19)
- Elenor of Tsort (dokuwiki-2016-06-26)
- Detritus (dokuwiki-2015-08-10)
- Hrun (dokuwiki-2014-09-29)
- Ponder Stibbons (dokuwiki-2014-05-05)
- Binky (dokuwiki-2013-12-08)
See the "Compatibility" section for more info
Here's a glimpse of what this tool can do:
dokujclient --user myUser --password myPassword --url http://mywiki/lib/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php getTitle
> myWiki title
dokujclient help
> [(-u|--user) <user>] --url <url> [(-p|--password) <password>] [-h|--help] [--version] [--password-interactive] command
>
> Available commands:
> [...skipped...]
#put user, password, and url, in the config file
vim ~/.dokujclientrc
#get the list of pages of all the wiki
dokujclient getPagelist .
> [...skipped...]
dokujclient appendPage builds:synthesis "Build launched at 12:23 took 3'24"
dokujclient getPage builds:synthesis
> Build launched at 11:12 took 3'19
> Build launched at 12:23 took 3'24
#help command can give information about a given command
dokujclient help putAttachment
> Syntax for putAttachment: [-f|--force] <attachmentId> <localFile>
dokujclient putAttachment some:file.jpg ~/results.jpg
Just make sure that your wiki is configured so that the xmlrpc interface is enabled, and so that your user is allowed to use it (ie: "remote" and "remoteuser" entries in your configuration).
It may be installed from the packages on several Linux distributions:
sudo apt-get install dokujclient
If it isn't available in the packages of your plateform you may:
-
Download the binaries.
-
Extract it, and add the extracted directoy to your path
-
Ensure it's correctly installed, typing e.g.:
dokujclient --version
To avoid typing your url, user, and password each time, you may create in your home a .dokujclientrc, and put some or all of this info in it.
echo "url=http://myhost/mywiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php" > ~/.dokujclientrc
echo "user=toto" >> ~/.dokujclientrc
echo "password=myPassword" >> ~/.dokujclientrc
If you want to build your own application, if you don't want to deal with xmlrpc requests yourself, or if you don't want to handle the different versions of Dokuwiki, you may use this library.
Everything is done through the DokuJClient: just create one and play with its methods. Here is a quick example which displays the title of the wiki and the list of its pages:
import dw.xmlrpc.DokuJClient;
import dw.xmlrpc.Page;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
String url = "http://mywiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php";
String user = "myUser";
String pwd = "myPassword";
DokuJClient client = new DokuJClient(url, user, pwd);
System.out.println("Pages in the wiki " + client.getTitle() + " are:");
for(Page page : client.getAllPages()){
System.out.println(page.id());
}
}
}
Make sure to add the jar listed in the Dependencies section below, as well as dokujclient.jar to your classpath. Also make sure to configure your wiki so that xmlrpc interface is enabled, and so that your user is allowed to use it (ie: "remote" and "remoteuser" entries in your configuration)
JAR files are available via Maven Central:
<dependency>
<groupId>fr.turri</groupId>
<artifactId>dokujclient</artifactId>
<version>3.9.1</version>
</dependency>Binaries may alse be downloaded directly.
To build them from the sources, see below.
On ubuntu, at the root of the project run:
# You need maven to compiler
sudo apt-get install maven
#Actually build
mvn package
It will generate in the directory target a dokujclient-x.y.z-bin.zip which contains
both the .jar and the executable command line tool
This project uses Maven. To be able to use Eclipse you should:
# Install Maven
sudo apt-get install maven
# Set the M2_REPO classpath variable
mvn -Declipse.workspace=<path-to-eclipse-workspace> eclipse:add-maven-repo
# Generate the Eclipe project files
mvn eclipse:eclipse
To use the Eclipse projet, you need to ensure every dependencies are available.
Just compile once from the command line (see above) to ensure it will be ok.
To build documentation you must have doxygen installed. Then, run at the root of the repo:
mvn javadoc:javadoc
To browse the generated docs, point your browser to target/site/apidocs/index.html
You may also directly browse it online.
To run the tests you'll need to set up a fake wiki. Please see src/test/resources/README.md to know how to set it up.
After that, to run the tests, just run, at the root of the repo:
mvn test
You can also run
mvn site
in order to generate a test report and a test coverage report.
dokuJClient aims at providing the same behavior for every supported version of Dokuwiki. There are however, some discrepancies:
- getAttachmentInfo can't retrieve the page title with Angua (dokuwiki-2012-01-25b). It will set it to the page id instead
- addAcl and delAcl are supported for dokuwiki-2013-12-08 (Binky) or newer
- logoff will always clear the local cookies, but it will clear the server side ones only if you have dokuwiki-2014-05-05 (Ponder Stibbons) or a more recent one
The mailing list is oriented toward development and usage of DokuJClient. You can subscribe and unsubscribe from https://www.freelists.org/list/dokujclient After subscribing, messages can be sent to dokujclient@freelists.org
Dokujclient is a personal open source project started in 2012. I have put hundreds of hours to maintain and enhance it.
It is provided as a charityware. It can be downloaded and installed at no charge. If you found it useful and would like to support its development, you may make a donation to a non-profit charitable organization.
