Description
Implementation of the URL API following the Standard XWiki URL scheme (the traditional one).
Supported URL formats in XWiki 7.2M1+ (we've added support for Nested Spaces):
http://server/context/bin/
http://server/context/bin/space
http://server/context/bin/space/
http://server/context/bin/action
http://server/context/bin/action/space
http://server/context/bin/action/[space]+/
http://server/context/bin/action/[space]+/page
http://server/context/bin/action/[space]+/
http://server/context/bin/action/[space]+/page/attachment.ext
http://server/context/bin/action/[space]+/page?param1=value1¶m2=value2
http://server/context/wiki/mywiki/action/...
Supported URL formats prior to XWiki 7.2:
http://server/context/bin/
http://server/context/bin/page
http://server/context/bin/space/
http://server/context/bin/space/page
http://server/context/bin/action/space/
http://server/context/bin/action/space/page
http://server/context/bin/action/space/page/
http://server/context/bin/action/space/page/attachment.ext
http://server/context/bin/action/space/page/ignored/path
http://server/context/bin/action/space/page?param1=value1¶m2=value2
http://server/context/wiki/mywiki/action/...
Backward compatibility breakages:
- Prior to 7.2, it was possible to omit the view action in URLs even when XWiki was configured to show view action (xwiki.showviewaction=1 in xwiki.cfg). Starting with 7.2 you need to xwiki.showviewaction=0 to support this.
- Prior to 7.2, it was also possible to use xwiki.usedefaultweb=1 in conjunction with xwiki.showviewaction=0 to have short URLs of the type http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/AllDoc. The configuration parameter xwiki.usedefaultweb=1 is no longer working.
See also the Standard URL Format documentation in the Dev Guide, which provides more details.
Configuration
The following can be configured:
#-# Defines where the wiki part is defined in a URL pointing to a subwiki
#-# If true then the wiki part is located in the URL path (a.k.a path-based), for example:
#-# http://server/xwiki/wiki/mywiki/view/Space/Page
#-# If false then the wiki part is located in the URL host domain (a.k.a domain-based), for example:
#-# http://mywiki.domain/xwiki/bin/view/Space/Page
#-#
#-# The default is:
# url.standard.multiwiki.isPathBased=true
#-# [Since 5.1M1]
#-# For path-based setups, this property defines the path segment before the one identifying the subwiki in the URL.
#-# For example if set to "thewiki", then the following URL will point to a subwiki named "mywiki":
#-# http://server/xwiki/thewiki/mywiki/view/Space/Page
#-# Note that the mapping in web.xml has to be modified accordingly if you don't use the default value:
#-# <servlet-mapping>
#-# <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
#-# <url-pattern>/wiki/*</url-pattern>
#-# </servlet-mapping>
#-#
#-# The default is:
# url.standard.multiwiki.wikiPathPrefix=wiki
#-# [Since 5.2M1]
#-# Defines the URL path prefix used for Entity URLs, i.e. URLs pointing to a Document, Space, Object, etc.
#-# For example this is the "bin" part in the following URL:
#-# http://server/xwiki/bin/view/space/page
#-# Note that this replaces the old xwiki.defaultservletpath property in the old xwiki.cfg file.
#-#
#-# The default is:
# url.standard.getEntityPathPrefix=bin
