Hi Danilo,

Hello people,

When I use the "bar" ="/" character in my page names occurs a bug. The page is created but when I access the link complete blank page appears to me! Even I try to delete or rename the page the blank page continues showing to me... How can I delete these pages? Is there some way to avoid the users to create pages with bar ("/") character?

Thank you.

Any chance you are using tomcat as web container? Then most probably this is this issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-688 which is basically a problem with tomcat being too paranoid about something. I can get a similar result when using mod_proxy from the apache-httpd however ;) If you want to get rid of that defunct page, paste the following snippet into any page and view the page: {{velocity}} $xwiki.getDocument("Space.My Pahe with /Slash").delete() {{/velocity}} Hope this helps, Clemens

I am using tomcat 7. Thank you for the advice in how to exclude the page, I will use it! However, is there any way to block the usage of the slash by the users?

Not yet. As far as I understand the recommended fix is to reconfigure tomcat so it does not forbid the encoded version of the slash as explained here: http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_6.0.10 i.e. adding -Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true to the CATALINA_OPTS The same note points out that without settign the other property there you can shoot yourself in the foot with a backslash '\' as well, and I can fully confirm this :) As not every user might be willing to configure tomcat in a way that is considered "disabling a security setting", I wonder if it would be acceptable to add a configuration setting that contains a list of "illegal characters" for page names, which then can be set to '\' and '/' if XWiki is running inside a tomcat with its default configuration. (Actually implementing this might be a bit tricky, as there are other ways to create a page with a '/' in the name, e.g. rename, copy and XAR-import, just to mention the few I can imagine on the spot ...)
