It is working, but only if the default action is missing as well. So indeed /bin/view/Page doesn't work ('view' is considered the space), but /bin/Page does work. And as far as I know, it always worked this way.
Ok, thanks for remembering this! So only when xwiki.showviewaction=0
When not considering nested spaces, I'm -0 for its removal, it's a setting that's useful for shorter URLs in a mostly read only site (e.g. public website).
Only if you put your documents in the Main space… If you need short URLs it’s better to use a shorturl strategy as described at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs (notice that xwiki.usedefaultweb is not even mentioned there).
I don't have a clear grasp of how nested spaces work, so I'm not sure how this setting affects nested spaces.
I’ll do some tests but I’m pretty sure that the combination of xwiki.showviewaction=1 + xwiki.usedefaultweb=1 + Nested Pages is not currently working. Thanks -Vincent

Hi devs,
I was reading the comment from Marius on https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13223 and indeed it seems that the “xwiki.usedefaultweb” config parameter has not been working for a very long time (Marius says at least before 2.7). Locally I’ve tested a 5.2.4 version and indeed it’s not working.
For Main.AllDocs the generated URL is: http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/AllDocs
Maybe at some point we were counting the number of path segments after the action and if it was 1 and xwiki.usedefaultweb was set to true we would add “Main” as the space.
However that’s not the case in XWiki 5.2.4 and probably earlier.
In addition, with Nested Pages we’ve implemented the support of a single path element after the action. FTR, from BinEntityResourceReferenceResolverTest:
// Test when single space segment, to be Nested Document friendly. // Normally the last segment is always the page name but we want to handle a special case when we // have "/view/something" and we wish in this case to consider that "something" is the space. This // is to handle Nested Documents, so that the user can have a top level Nested Document // (something.WebHome) and access it from /view/something. If we didn't handle this special case // the user would get Main.something and thus wouldn't be able to access something.WebHome. He'd // need to use /view/something/ which is not natural in the Nested Document mode. testCreateResource("http://localhost/bin/space", "view", buildEntityReference("wiki", Arrays.asList("space"), null), fullSingleSpaceReference, EntityType.DOCUMENT);
I also don’t think it’s a big help for users to be able to omit the Main space since they need to keep the other spaces in the URL anyway.
So I’m proposing to officially drop support for this parameter and remove it from xwiki.cfg since it has not worked for ages.
WDYT? Have I missed something?
Thanks -Vincent
