Hello,
I want xwiki url to give same output with or without trailing slashes(/) at the end of url. Is there a way I can configure this in XWiki?

Thank you!

I guess this is caused by the problem in your other post, where the apache httpd redirects all requests looking like they point to a directory (i.e. not ending with a .suffix ) to an URL that ends with a slash.

The problem is here that for XWiki the two URLs are different:

  • /XWiki/XWikiPreferences shows the page XWiki.XWikiPreferences
  • /XWiki/XWikiPreferences/ shows the page XWiki.XWikiPreferences.WebHome

i.e. a trailing slash is for XWiki the signal to append and implicit WebHome to the URL.

I tries to solve your problem by creating a new page as XWiki.XWikiPreferences.WebHome which only contains a macro to include the XWiki.XWikiPreferences, however this did not work as I hoped it would.

I wonder if you can use some rewrite rules instead, that internally rewrite the URL /XWiki/XWikiPreferences/ to /XWiki/XWikiPreferences, hopefully bypassing the other option that stubbornly adds slashes …
