Sorry to be stubborn. We use exactly both of them on an apache 2.1.
It does not change anything to the content, hence to output URLs, it  
only maps one way.


So if an xwiki pages contains ../../inline/xxx whereas the original  
path is /bin/Main/WebHome, the browser will submit the URL  
/inline/xxx which breaks.

The other thing that can be done is to put a reverse proxy in front of
xwiki and have it re-write that part of the URL out.

Thanks a lot Karim :)

I couldn't find from where it was linked so I added a link in the  
Admin configuration guide.

I've also modified the content and name since calling it "nice" is  
very subjective (I replaced it with "short URLs" which is neutral).

No need to excuse yourself. Indeed, I don't mind using what I said to 
complete the documentation. I'd rather have a full documentation than

That's not enough. By default, the default servlet sends resources 
starting from the webapp root, regardless of the mapping (and thus the 
URL). So, when you map it to respond to /skins/, when the URL is 
.com/skins/albatross, it will look not for /skins/albatross, but for 
/albatross, because /skins/ is just for mapping.

Jetty allows to easily configure the starting point from the servlet 
declaration, in web.xml, but Tomcat doesn't. Instead, it uses a servlet 
context attribute, named "org.apache.catalina.alternateResources" for 
alternate docbases. I don't know how to put this attribute in the 
context before initializing it (as it is read only at init()). So, for 
the moment, until we provide our own default servlet for retrieving 
those resources, I can't help you any further. This is why I said that 
this part must be configured in a container-dependent way.

Literally speaking, I didn't ask anything. I made a remark that
intentionally left all options open (including asking me to do it of
course). I did not want to do anything that might have been perceived as
out of rights (and certainly not to ask somebody to do something in my
place). Apparently that wasn't enough to prevent me from being told I'm
not nice. 

I apologise for not knowing the way things are done here. I have yet to
learn, so please don't take offense from my mistakes and believe in my
good will. 

I am used to Wikipedia's rules, where it would probably be perceived as
an offense to take somebody's opus without his consent (unless of course
it is already published in an article, since this would automatically
place it under GFDL licence). I did face some licence problems, e.g.
having to ask every contributor for his approval for a change from GFDL
to CC-BY-SA (and vice-versa), so I tend to be careful. 

Thank you for your understanding.

If you deploy XWiki as the ROOT app, you must also change in
WEB-INF/web.xml the  parameter to the empty  
string, like:




To get rid of /view/, in xwiki.cfg write

xwiki.showviewaction=0

To get rid of /bin/, for the moment you have to change web.xml in a
container-dependent way, so that you map the container's default  
servlet
to existing directories, like skins, yui, tinymce and  
wikieditor, copy
the /bin mapping to also be activated for / (copy, don't change,  
so that

/bin works, too), then add in xwiki.cfg

xwiki.defaultactionpath=

This will allow you to access documents with server.com/Space/ 
Document,

server.com/Space/ (pointing to Space.WebHome), server.com/Document
(pointing to Main.Document), and server.com/ will show Main.WebHome
without needing a redirect.

As a bonus, these changes are backwards compatible, meaning that  
any
currently working URL will also work with these changes  
performed, so

you won't have any broken bookmarks.

All these changes aren't completely tested, so there could be some
things that aren't working, because of code that parses the URL and
counts the number of slashes, or expects an exact URL pattern  
containing
/bin/ or stuff like that. But my unconfirmed guess is that it  
should all

work fine.

If you want to have different action mappings, like
server.com/Space/Doc?action=edit, then there's more work, like  
writing a

new URLFactory, changing struts-config.xml, and creating another
RequestProcessor.

Seems like nothing will ever get done with such a strategy... :(

As you have noticed Sergiu is quite busy these days. I don't find it  
nice to ask him to publish it when you could just help out... I can

Anyway it's your call and if you don't want to help nobody is going to

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki] Clean URLs - Anyone knows why we have /bin/ in XWiki URLs?

[Karim-Pierre Maalej]

This is very valuable information, il should be posted on the
xwiki.org :-)

If you deploy XWiki as the ROOT app, you must also change in 
WEB-INF/web.xml the  parameter to the empty string, like:



To get rid of /view/, in xwiki.cfg write

xwiki.showviewaction=0

To get rid of /bin/, for the moment you have to change web.xml in a 
container-dependent way, so that you map the container's default servlet 
to existing directories, like skins, yui, tinymce and wikieditor, copy 
the /bin mapping to also be activated for / (copy, don't change, so that 
/bin works, too), then add in xwiki.cfg

xwiki.defaultactionpath=

This will allow you to access documents with server.com/Space/Document, 
server.com/Space/ (pointing to Space.WebHome), server.com/Document 
(pointing to Main.Document), and server.com/ will show Main.WebHome 
without needing a redirect.

As a bonus, these changes are backwards compatible, meaning that any 
currently working URL will also work with these changes performed, so 
you won't have any broken bookmarks.

All these changes aren't completely tested, so there could be some 
things that aren't working, because of code that parses the URL and 
counts the number of slashes, or expects an exact URL pattern containing 
/bin/ or stuff like that. But my unconfirmed guess is that it should all 
work fine.

If you want to have different action mappings, like 
server.com/Space/Doc?action=edit, then there's more work, like writing a 
new URLFactory, changing struts-config.xml, and creating another 
RequestProcessor.

[Paul Libbrecht]

Hello List,

has there been any progress on that ?
I can attest that, at least out of the box, expanding the XWiki  
webapp into the ROOT directory gives rather disatrous effects (i.e.  
still loads of paths that are /xwiki/).


It would be nice to have a rewrite engine but this has to work to  
ways, i.e. if I drag-and-drop a link produced by XWiki it should the  
short URL that one wishes and not one that is also compatible (but,  
e.g., is very long).


thanks for hints. It is most probable by now that we shall build the  
intergeo platform on xwiki and curriki...
