How can I configure a shorter URL than nxpath/default/default-domain for everything?
Hi there, the URLs of documents in Nuxeo tend to get rather long. https://mydomain.hoster.com/nuxeo/nxpath/default/default-domain/workspaces/project1/folder/document/@view_documents That is 115 characters, although there are no lengthy names and only one folder in the hierarchy. A large part of that is the default “middle” part starting from nxpath until default-domain (29 characters), that I cannot influence (to the best of my knowledge). I can rename a domain, but the path remains the same (which makes sense in many cases). Is there a way to change this part? If every part is necessary, I could still use only 1 character so that each URL would be shortened by 24 characters. That avoids problems with large URLs when using a lot of subfolders (which some users do). Thanks in advance for your help Regards René
Hi,
You could setup the “id” URL pattern, which is shorter, as the default one instead of the one relying on the document path.
Here is a sample runtime contribution (not tested) to achieve that:
<require>org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.ui.web.rest.URLService.contrib</require>
<extension point="urlpatterns" target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.ui.web.rest.URLService">
<urlPattern enabled="true" name="id">
<defaultURLPolicy>true</defaultURLPolicy>
<needBaseURL>true</needBaseURL>
<needRedirectFilter>true</needRedirectFilter>
<needFilterPreprocessing>true</needFilterPreprocessing>
<codecName>docid</codecName>
<actionBinding>#{restHelper.initContextFromRestRequest}</actionBinding>
<documentViewBinding>#{restHelper.documentView}</documentViewBinding>
<newDocumentViewBinding>
#{restHelper.newDocumentView}
</newDocumentViewBinding>
<bindings>
<binding callGetter="false" name="tabId">
#{webActions.currentTabId}
</binding>
<binding callGetter="false" name="subTabId">
#{webActions.currentSubTabId}
</binding>
<binding name="tabIds">#{webActions.currentTabIds}</binding>
<binding callGetter="false" name="language">
#{restHelper.localeString}
</binding>
</bindings>
</urlPattern>
<urlPattern name="default" enabled="true">
<defaultURLPolicy>false</defaultURLPolicy>
<needBaseURL>true</needBaseURL>
<needRedirectFilter>true</needRedirectFilter>
<needFilterPreprocessing>true</needFilterPreprocessing>
<codecName>docpath</codecName>
<actionBinding>#{restHelper.initContextFromRestRequest}</actionBinding>
<documentViewBinding>#{restHelper.documentView}</documentViewBinding>
<newDocumentViewBinding>
#{restHelper.newDocumentView}
</newDocumentViewBinding>
<bindings>
<binding name="tabId" callGetter="false">
#{webActions.currentTabId}
</binding>
<binding name="subTabId" callGetter="false">
#{webActions.currentSubTabId}
</binding>
<binding name="tabIds">#{webActions.currentTabIds}</binding>
<binding name="language" callGetter="false">
#{restHelper.localeString}
</binding>
<binding name="mainTabId" callGetter="false">
#{webActions.currentTabIds}
</binding>
</bindings>
</urlPattern>
</extension>
Note the change of values for the “defaultURLPolicy” property compared to the default configuration at http://explorer.nuxeo.com/nuxeo/site/distribution/cap-8.3/viewComponent/org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.ui.web.rest.URLService.contrib
You can also define your own URL policy, check the documentations at https://doc.nuxeo.com/x/EIzZ and https://doc.nuxeo.com/x/hwFu

I believe what you're looking for can be found in the org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.url package. Found here: https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo/tree/434093e97825bf7e02578efd428e71f588704f20/nuxeo-services/nuxeo-platform-url-api/src/main/java/org/nuxeo/ecm/platform/url.
Although, Florent will likely be able to answer this question.
You may try to alter the EJBs, but maybe this is too deep. Likely, to get messy. I take it that it all starts at the 'nxpath' mapped servlet, so that may also be a good place to start.
I believe this is mapped in the deployment-fragment.xml on your tomcat server.
Hope this helps,
Yousuf
