Class ConversionFilter

java.lang.Object
  com.xpn.xwiki.wysiwyg.server.filter.ConversionFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.Filter

public class ConversionFilter
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.servlet.Filter

This filter is used to convert the values of request parameters that hold WYSIWYG output from HTML to XWiki syntax. This is needed because the action processing the request expects XWiki syntax and not HTML code in these request parameters. The conversion is done using the new rendering module. It has to be done on the server and not on the client, like the old WYSIWYG editor does. Doing the conversion on the client side by making an asynchronous request to the server is error-prone for the following reason: the WYSIWYG behaves like a text area that can be put anywhere in an HTML page, inside or outside an HTML form; because of this the editor is not aware of what submit buttons are present on the container page and what submit logic these buttons might have associated with them.
