Re: [xwiki-devs] Bug with global user profile in sub wiki and support for empty servlet path

Unfortunately, the fix is not as trivial as I originally planned given how XWiki works with the url factory. I assumed the url in the case of a subwiki ressources would be relative and absolute to the subwiki but it is always normalized after the main wiki so the wiki reference of the document being linked is lost and there is no way right now to fix this by just touching this method I believe, as the context does not have anything useful to figure out correctly what to do... The solution seems to not set the wiki.home so the urls reflect the domain they are coming from however then the following fails: XWikiServletURLFactory @ 179: ------------------------------------------------------------ public URL getServerURL(String xwikidb, XWikiContext context) throws MalformedURLException { if (xwikidb == null || xwikidb.equals(context.getOriginalDatabase())) { // This is the case if we are getting a URL for a page which is in // the same wiki as the page which is now being displayed. return this.serverURL; } if (context.isMainWiki(xwikidb)) { // Not in the same wiki so we are in a subwiki and we want a URL which points to the main wiki. // if xwiki.home is set then lets return that. final URL homeParam = getXWikiHomeParameter(context); if (homeParam != null) { return homeParam; } } URL url = context.getWiki().getServerURL(xwikidb, context); return url == null ? this.serverURL : url; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Since wiki.home is not set, the method fails to return an url pointing to the main wiki....
