A tiny extension which allows to parametrize the host-name of any URL delivered by XWiki.
This component is derived from Curriki's CDN URL-factory.
This extension is in Java and nedds to be included in WEB-INF/lib of the XWiki web-application. After that, three lines of configuration need to be inserted inside xwiki.cfg:
xwiki.urlfactory.serviceclass=net.hoplahup.absoluteurlfactory.AbsoluteURLFactoryServiceImplnet.hoplahup.absoluteurlfactory.baseURL=http://my-domain.netnet.hoplahup.absoluteurlfactory.attachmentsBaseURL=http://my-domain.net
Once these three lines (without any leading star or bullet) are inside the configuration file. The XWiki should be restarted.
Simple installations can use the same value for the two URLs.
Elaborate installations, however, may benefit to separate attachments and baseURL so as to leverage content-distribution-networks which allow to proxy requests and cache the results. This factory adds a revision number as parameter thus making sure that each version of the attachments have a different URLs. This has been successfully employed using Amazon CloudFront on Curriki.org.
