SharePoint solution packages (WSP)

SharePoint solution packages (WSP)

This article mainly applies to older SharePoint Connector for Confluence Data Center versions (1.12.x and 2.x) that supported SharePoint Server (On-Prem). Since version 3.x and in our Cloud version, we only work with SharePoint Online.

Is there a WSP package available for installation?

Answer

There is no WSP package available for installation.

  1. Since our connector works with SharePoint Online and on-premises as well, a technical solution is required that is appropriate for both systems.

  2. In SharePoint Online, WSP solutions are not allowed at all, so this was not an option.

  3. Furthermore, WSP solutions are "old-style" and already somewhat "deprecated".

  4. WSP solutions will surely not be allowed in future versions of SharePoint Server either (in SharePoint 2019, sandboxed WSP solutions are already marked as deprecated and are not allowed if they contain code).

  5. Add-ins are a lot more secure than WSP solutions.
