Ok, I have a solution that works for me.
Hi,
I tried to follow the instructions here:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs
and the URLs look great, but I couldn't get the skins and logo to work.
The problem is this part of the instructions:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>defaultSkins</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.Default</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>relativeResourceBase</param-name>
<param-value>skins</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>defaultSkins</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/skins/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This is totally wrong for me. I'm using xwiki + Jetty + lighttpd on
Debian stable/testing.
The correct entry into web.xml is to add:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/resources/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/skins/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
in addition to:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
It would also help if someone wrote WHERE to put these things in the
web.xml file. I guessed, and it appears to work.
Further to this, I discovered this fix does not work, as the /resources/*
mapping seems to conflict with the *.gwtrpc mapping (mentioned in another
email).
When you Create A Link in the wysiwyg editor, it POSTs to:
/resources/js/xwiki/wysiwyg/xwe/HTMLConverter.gwtrpc
how do I set up my web.xml file so that both the static resources, and
these apparently dynamic resource are able to both work?
Please help, this is very frustrating.
HOWEVER, it will only work if ALL of the gwtrpc
requests will be to urls
such as
domain.com/resources/blah/blah/file.gwtrpc
In the default XE distribution the WYSIWYG editor is the only one making
GWT-RPC calls and they all go to *.gwtrpc URLs so you're safe.
This is the way I could have done it, if I had known where to put that java
code etc:
http://www.kuligowski.pl/java/rest-style-urls-and-url-mapping-for-static-co…
The fundamental problem is due to the limited power of servlet mapping
rules.
ANY mapping to *.gwtrpc will not work if there is a /* mapping or a
/resource/* mapping, as file extensions are always the lowest priority.
So, instead of going the java-path, I used lighttpd since I am using it
anyway.
My new lighttpd rules are:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.domain\.com$" {
# ensure all requests for .gwtrpc files go through
$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.gwtrpc$" {
proxy.server = ( "" => (( "host" =>
"127.0.0.1", "port" => 8080 )))
}
# otherwise, we can handle the static resources
else $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/resources/" {
alias.url += ( "/resources" =>
"/usr/share/jetty/webapps/root/resources" )
}
# otherwise, we can handle the static resources
else $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/skins/" {
alias.url += ( "/skins" =>
"/usr/share/jetty/webapps/root/skins" )
}
# and here is the primary server
else $HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.domain\.com$" {
proxy.server = ( "" => (( "host" =>
"127.0.0.1", "port" => 8080 )))
}
}
else $HTTP["host"] =~ "\.domain\.com$" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://www.domain.com/$1" )
server.name = "www.domain.com"
}
else $HTTP["host"] =~ "domain\.com$" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://www.domain.com/$1" )
server.name = "www.domain.com"
}
so lighttpd will serve static content from resources and skins, EXCEPT if it
ends with .gwtrpc
THEN in web.xml: I change the gwtrpc mapping to:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>gwtrpc</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/resources/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/skins/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
because we know that anything that makes it past lighttpd in the resources
or skins folder MUST be a gwtrpc file.
AND then I do not need the skins/resources mappings (that I mentioned above
in prev email), all I need to add is:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
yay.
please put this up on the wiki for ShortUrls, it might
save someone like me
quite a few hours.
Note that xwiki.org is an open wiki so you can register and contribute.
Thanks,
