Yes I made a lot of changes to use the new platform-url module. However this module
doesn't support short URLs indeed so I broke support for short urls… :(
I'll work on fixing it for 5.1.x and 5.2.
Sorry about that.

Hi All,
I sent 2 emails to the users list without much success and I am hoping that
I might find a more suitable audience for my somewhat technical issues with
the devs.
1) Global users in sub wiki.
In the system I am trying to setup, all the users are created using a custom
auth module in the main wiki (Global users), so there will be no local
users. The issue is that on a sub wiki, when you click on a user to bring up
its profile, you end up on a document not found.
From the auth module, the
principal returned is prefixed with the 'XWiki.' so the system should be
able to differentiate between local and global users and act accordingly.
'XWiki' is the space name, and you have this space both in the local
and the global wiki. In order to make sure the user is from the global
wiki you need to use the full/absolute user reference:
wiki:XWiki.userName. So your auth module should return something like
xwiki:XWIki.mflorea, where 'xwiki' is the main wiki, and 'mflorea' is
the user alias used to login. On the Java side you should use the
DocumentReference and the DocumentReferenceSerializer.
I checked that I could reproduce the issue even if i am not using any custom
authentication.
Should i log this as a bug in Jira ?
2) Empty servlet path support
The second thing I am struggling with is shortening the urls. I am following
this guide:
But no matter what I try, I cannot make it work without the '/bin/ prefix.
Please note that the xwiki is running under Jetty as the main context
(mapped as '/') so the url I have is:
server.com/WebHome which according to the short urls document should work.
it appears that the issue comes from StandardXWikiURLFactory:
--------------------
String type = extendedURL.getSegments().get(0);
if (type.equals("bin") ||
type.equals(this.configuration.getWikiPathPrefix())) {
xwikiURL = this.entityURLFactory.createURL(extendedURL,
parameters);
} else {
throw new UnsupportedURLException(String.format("URL type [%s]
are not yet supported!", type));
}
----------------
What version of XWiki are you using? I think some changes have been
made to the URL "parsing" code in 5.1. Vincent, WDYT? Thanks,
Marius
