2 If you deploy XWiki as the ROOT app, you must also change in WEB-INF/web.xml the \<display-name\> parameter to the empty string, like:
3
4 \<display-name\>\</display-name\>
5
6 To get rid of /view/, in xwiki.cfg write
7
8 xwiki.showviewaction=\0
9
10 To get rid of /bin/, for the moment you have to change web.xml in a
11 container-dependent way, so that you map the container's default servlet
12 to existing directories, like skins, yui, tinymce and wikieditor, copy
13 the /bin mapping to also be activated for / (copy, don't change, so that
14 /bin works, too), then add in xwiki.cfg
15
16 xwiki.defaultactionpath=
17
18 This will allow you to access documents with server.com/Space/Document,
19 server.com/Space/ (pointing to Space.WebHome), server.com/Document
20 (pointing to Main.Document), and server.com/ will show Main.WebHome
21 without needing a redirect.
22
23 As a bonus, these changes are backwards compatible, meaning that any
24 currently working URL will also work with these changes performed, so
25 you won't have any broken bookmarks.
26
27 All these changes aren't completely tested, so there could be some
28 things that aren't working, because of code that parses the URL and
29 counts the number of slashes, or expects an exact URL pattern containing
30 /bin/ or stuff like that. But my unconfirmed guess is that it should all
31 work fine.
32
33 If you want to have different action mappings, like
34 server.com/Space/Doc?action=edit, then there's more work, like writing a
35 new URLFactory, changing struts-config.xml, and creating another
36 RequestProcessor.
