Standard URL Format (XWiki.org)

The general format of XWiki URLs is {{code language="none"}}<protocol>://<server>/<context path>/<type>/<path>{{/code}}, where:

6

7

* ##<protocol>##: by default it's ##http##. It's possible to use ##https##. It's generally deduced from the URL used by the client but it's possible to control it using [[the wiki descriptor>>https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Wiki+Application#HConfigureWiki]]

8

* ##<server>##: the XWiki instance address and port, e.g. ##localhost:8080##, ##xwiki.org##. In domain-mode the server also contains the subwiki name. See [[Accessing a wiki>>xwiki:Documentation.AdminGuide.AccessWiki]]. In path-based mode, the server is the address of the main wiki. Since 10.7 it's possible to customize the port to use in the [[the wiki descriptor>>https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Wiki+Application#HConfigureWiki]].

9

* ##<context path>##: the name under which the XWiki web application is deployed in your Servlet Container, e.g. ##xwiki##. See [[Short URLs>>xwiki:Documentation.AdminGuide.ShortURLs#HI.Applicationname]] if you wish to deploy XWiki as ROOT.

10

* ##<type>##: the type of URL depending on the XWiki subsystem accessed. The following types are supported:

11

** ##bin##: points to a dynamic resource. Examples: an Entity to display (wiki, page, space, attachment, object, property, etc), a dynamic skin resource (image, css, js), a dynamic template resource (image, js, css, icon, etc) and more. By dynamic we mean that some computation needs to happen to compute the resource (for example some Velocity needs to be evaluated).

12

** ##wiki##: this is similar to ##bin## but specifying the subwiki to access, in path-based mode (See [[Accessing a wiki>>xwiki:Documentation.AdminGuide.AccessWiki]]).

13

** ##rest##: points to a [[REST Resource>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]]

14

** ##skins##: points to a static filesystem skin resource (image, js, css, etc), i.e. a resource located inside a skin directory on the filesystem.

15

** ##resources##: points to a static template resource (image, js, css, etc) on the filesystem.

16

** ##xmlrpc##: points to the now deprecated XMLRPC API (see [[extensions:Extension.XML-RPC Integration]] for more details).

17

** ##webdav##: points to a WebDAV resource (see [[Web DAV>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.WebDAV]] for more details).

18

* ##<path>##: the path completely depends on the ##<type>## used. See below for more details.

19

XWiki 7.2: Added support for Nested Spaces

28

29

30

There are various ##bin## URLs. The generic format of ##bin## URLs is ##bin/<action>/<path>##.

31

There is two ways to inject actions:

32

33

* by implementing an [[Entity Resource Reference Handler>>extensions:Extension.Resource API#HAddinganewEntityResourceTypeHandler]]

34

* {{warning}}deprecated{{/warning}} implementing a ##com.xpn.xwiki.internal.web.LegacyAction## since 13.0 or before 13.0 by listing a Struts action in the Strut Configuration file (located in ##WEB-INF/struts-config.xml##).

35

36

Here are some well-known actions:

37

38

* [[##skin##>>#HAction:skin]]: Dynamic Skin resource, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/skin/resources/uicomponents/search/searchSuggest.css##

39

* ##jsx##: [[Javascript Skin Extension>>xwiki:Documentation.DevGuide.Tutorials.SkinExtensionsTutorial]] URL, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/jsx/AnnotationCode/Settings?language=en##

40

* ##ssx##: [[StyleSheet Skin Extension>>xwiki:Documentation.DevGuide.Tutorials.SkinExtensionsTutorial]] URL, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/ssx/AnnotationCode/Style?language=en##

41

* [[##download##>>#HAction:download]]: URL to access an attachment from a wiki page, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/JohnDoe/john.png?width=30&height=30&keepAspectRatio=true##

42

* [[##view##>>#HAction:view]]: Display Entity content (wiki, page, space, attachment, object, property, etc) with the skin applied, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/WebHome##

43

* [[##edit##>>#HAction:edit]]: Edits wiki content (page, object, property, etc), e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/edit/Sandbox/WebHome##

44

* [[##get##>>#HAction:get]]: Accessing Entity content (wiki, page, space, attachment, object, property, etc) without any skin applied, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/get/Main/WebHome?xpage=xpart&vm=commentsinline.vm##. The ##get## action should be used to render the content of the page and nothing else (mainly used for code pages). This action is similar to the ##view## action, but without the UI and with "text/plain" mime type set by default for the response.

45

* ##export##: Exports wiki pages to various formats (PDF, HTML, etc). See [[xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.Exports]].

46

* [[##create##>>#HAction:create]]: Provides the UI for creating new documents, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/create/Space/NewDocument##

47

* [[##objectadd##>>#HAction:objectadd]]: Adds an XObject, e.g. ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/objectadd/Space/Page?classname=Some.XClass##

48

49

== Action: ##view## ==

50

51

The additional URL paths for the ##view## action is ##<space1>/.../<spaceN>/<page>?<query string>## or ##<space1>/.../<spaceN>?<query string>##

Examples:

* ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/WebHome##: Views the ##Sandbox.WebHome## page.

56

* ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox##: Views the ##Sandbox.WebHome## page.

57

* ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Space1/Space2##: Views the ##Space1.Space2.WebHome## page (if the ##Space2## page doesn't exist. If it exists then it views the ##Space1.Space2## page).

58

* ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Space1/Space2/##: Force to always views the ##Space1.Space2.WebHome## page (even if the ##Space2## page exists in the ##Space1## space. Note the ##/## at the end).

59

* ##http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Space1/Space2?spaceRedirect=false##: Force to always view the ##Space1.Space2## terminal page (even if the ##Space1.Space2.WebHome## page exists and even if the ##Space1.Space2## page may not exist).

60

61

Here are some of the supported query string parameters.

62

63

=== Parameter: ##xpage## ===

64

65

* ##plain##: this value indicates that only the content of the page is printed (no UI). With a document that's not using the XWiki Syntax 1.0 you can control the output syntax using ##outputSyntax## and ##outputSyntaxVersion##. You can also pass other parameters to allow fine-grained control:

66

** ##raw=1##: Returns the page source as is without any formatting but XML-escaped

67

** ##raw=2##: Returns the page source as is without any formatting (without any escaping)

68

85

86

=== Parameter: ##outputSyntax## and ##outputSyntaxVersion## ===

87

With a document that's not using the XWiki 1.0 syntax it's possible to explicitly indicate the renderer to use for the page content. For example with ##outputSyntax=plain## you will get the result in plain text. ##outputSyntaxVersion## is an optional parameter, if it's not provided XWiki will search for the last version of the renderer for the given ##outputSyntax## syntax name. Note that ##outputSyntax## controls only the document content output syntax. If you only want the document content you can use ##xpage=plain##.

89

90

See [[extensions:Extension.Rendering Module]] for more details on renderers.

199

=== Parameter: ##objectPolicy## ===

200

201

{{info}}Since 7.1M1{{/info}} The ##objectPolicy## parameter is a request configuration parameter that will decide how to handle custom query string parameters (see [[Custom Parameters>>#HCustomParameters]]):

202

203

* ##update##

204

** Each custom parameter will update a property in an existing object of the current page.

205

** If the custom parameter refers to a property or an object that don't exist, it will simply ignore it.

206

* ##updateOrCreate##

207

** Each custom parameter will update a property in an existing object of the current page.

208

** If the custom parameter refers to a property that doesn't exist, it will ignore it.

** If the custom parameter refers to an object that doesn't exist, it will create it (and pad will ##null## objects if needed).(((

210

//Example//: If there is already 2 objects ##XWiki.XWikiRights## in the page, ##XWiki.XWikiRights_0_levels## and ##XWiki.XWikiRights_1_levels## will update these existing objects. ##XWiki.XWikiRights_2_levels## and ##XWiki.XWikiRights_3_levels## will create 2 new objects. ##XWiki.XWikiRights_42_levels## will be created and 37 empty objects too (42 minus the 4 already existing and minus the 42th which will be created).

211

//Note//: All this information about empty/null objects is currently an implementation detail of how we currently handle object numbers and it may be subject to future change so, as much as possible, do not rely on it and, instead, use the public available APIs to handle these things.

If set, force the attachment to be downloaded instead of being opened in the browser (it sets the ##Content-Disposition## header to ##attachment## instead of ##inline##).

343

344

== Action: ##create## ==

345

346

The additional URL paths for the create action is ##<space1>/.../<spaceN>/<page>?<query string>##.

Examples:

http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/create/Space1/Space2/NewPage: UI for creating the Space1.Space2.NewPage document (also known as a terminal document).

351

http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/create/Space1/Space2/WebHome: UI for creating the Space1.Space2.WebHome document (which is also known as a space homepage or a non-terminal document).

352

http:~/~/<server>/xwiki/bin/create/Main/WebHome: Generic UI for creating a new document (asking for location and document name since Main.WebHome already exists)

353

354

Here are some of the supported query string parameters.

355

356

=== Parameter: ##spaceReference## ===

357

358

{{info}}Since 7.2M1{{/info}} A local reference string serialization of the space in which to create the new document, e.g. "Space1.Space2"

359

360

//Note//: Since it's a serialized string reference, entity names need to be already escaped. For a space name "A.B", the equivalent local space reference would be "A\.B". Another example of serialized local space reference would be "A\.B.C\.D", meaning space "C.D" inside space "A.B". See the [[extensions:Extension.Model Module]]'s documentation for more information on EntityReferences.

361

362

=== Parameter: ##name## ===

363

364

{{info}}Since 7.2M1{{/info}} A string representing the name of the new entity, e.g. "NewDocument".

365

366

Depending on the type of document to create, this will be used as:

367

368

* a space name, when creating non-terminal documents, e.g. spaceReference=Space&name=Page results in creating "Space.Page.WebHome"

369

* a document name, when creating terminal documents, e.g. spaceReference=Space&name=Page&tocreate=terminal results in creating "Space.Page"

370

371

=== Parameter: ##tocreate## ===

Accepted values:

* empty or not specified:

376

** if the current document does not exist, a terminal document will be created having the current document's reference, e.g. ##/create/Space/NewPage## creates "Space.NewPage"

377

** if the current document exists, the new document (specified using the ##spaceReference## + ##name## parameters pair) is created as a non-terminal document, e.g. ##/create/Main/WebHome?spaceReference=Space&name=NewPage## creates "Space.NewPage.WebHome".

378

** {{warning}}Deprecated since 7.2M1{{/warning}} if the current document exists, the new document (specified using the deprecated ##space## + ##pageName## parameters pair) is created as a terminal document, e.g. ##/create/Main/WebHome?space=Space&page=NewPage## creates "Space.NewPage".

379

* "terminal" - forces the new document to be a terminal document.

380

** Example: If "Space1.Space2.Page" is to be created, then it is already a terminal document and is not affected in any way by this setting, but if "Space1.Space2.WebHome" is to be created then it would be a non-terminal document by default. In this later case, specifying the tocreate=terminal parameter would force the creation of a terminal document instead, result in the creation of ##Space1.Space2## (i.e. the page named "Space2" in the space "Space1"), effectively going up one level in the Nested Spaces hierarchy.

381

** In the case of a top level space's WebHome document (e.g. "Space.WebHome"), this setting is ignored, since the top limit of the hierarchy is reached and there is nowhere else to go up. The resulting document to be created is thus "Space.WebHome".

382

* "space" - {{warning}}Deprecated since 7.2M1{{/warning}} The document to be created will always be a space WebHome (a.k.a a non-terminal document). This value is considered only when used in conjunction with the deprecated ##space## parameter. In this case, the deprecated ##page## parameter is completely ignored. For example: ##tocreate=space&space=MySpace## will result in "MySpace.WebHome".

383

384

=== Parameter: ##template## ===

385

386

A string serialized document reference of the document to use as template when creating the new document.

387

388

If empty, the new document will be a blank page.

389

390

If not specified, and existing template providers are available to choose from in the current space and the ##templateprovider## parameter is also not specified, no document will be created yet and the create UI will show up asking the user to choose a template provider from a list.

391

392

This parameter has precedence over the ##templateprovider## parameter, meaning that if both are specified, the ##templateprovider## will be ignored.

393

394

=== Parameter: ##templateprovider## ===

395

396

A string serialized document reference of the template provider document to use when creating the new document. The actual template document to use will be extracted from the specified template provider.

397

398

If the specified template provider is not allowed to be used in the space where the new document is created, then the create UI will be displayed with an error.

399

//Note//: This check is done for the ##spaceReference## of the new document to be created. Example: If we are creating the terminal document "Space.NewPage", the check is done for the space "Space". However, if we are creating the non-terminal document "Space.NewPage.WebHome", the check is done for the non-terminal document's space "Space" and not for actual document's reference space "NewPage".

400

401

If empty, the new document will be a blank page.

402

403

If not specified, and existing template providers are available to choose from in the current space and the ##template parameter is also not specified, no document will be created yet and the create UI will show up asking the user to choose a template provider from a list.##

404

405

If both this parameter and the ##template## parameter are specified, the ##template## parameter will be used instead of and this parameter will be ignored.

406

407

=== Parameter: ##title## ===

408

409

A string to use as the title of the new document.

410

411

=== Parameter: ##form_token## ===

412

413

A mandatory anti-CSRF token string which can be provided by the [[CSRF API>>extensions:Extension.XWiki Platform - CSRF.WebHome]].

414

415

=== Parameter: ##parent## ===

416

417

{{warning}}Deprecated since 7.2M1{{/warning}} A string serialized document reference of the document to use as parent for the new document.

418

419

=== Parameter: ##space## ===

420

421

{{warning}}Deprecated since 7.2M1{{/warning}} A string representing an unescaped space name where the new document will be created, Example: "MySpace", "SpaceNameWith.Dots", etc.

422

423

//Note//: Because this is just a space name and not a space local reference, only top level space documents can be created, i.e. "TopLevelSpace.Document" is possible but not "TopLevelSpace.SecondLevelSpace.Document".

424

425

=== Parameter: ##pageName## ===

426

427

{{warning}}Deprecated since 7.2M1{{/warning}} A string representing the name of the new document. Example: "NewDocument"

428

429

//Note//: When using ##tocreate=space## in conjunction with the ##space## parameter, this parameter will be ignored and the document "<space>.WebHome" will be created.
