must xwiki really be aware of its context?

[hanspeter.klapf at gmx.at]

In the xwiki-documentation I read about virtual wikis and their installation-procedure. While this is a great idea for a big number of wikis, it has some disadvantages for a small number of instances:

- I need a wildcard-certificate (quite expensive) or X certificates for X wikis
- Updates always take affect to each instances 
- An additional DNS-entry must be made for each instance (usually not the expertise of the wiki-administrator)

For me it would be gread to use different context-names:
wiki.mycompany.com/projectx 
wiki.mycompany.com/projecty

This way, only one (no wildcard-) certificate is needed and a few instances would work on the same hardware. Unfortunately, some links/redirects are absolute (/xwiki/..) and so this is not possible.

Will this feature be available in future? Are there any workarounds available?

Thanks,
