How to Make Web UI the Default UI

Updated: March 18, 2024

On Nuxeo 8.10, in case both nuxeo-jsf-ui and nuxeo-web-ui addons are installed, the login page redirects to the JSF UI. If you want to change this behavior to be redirected to the new Web UI you can add the following XML contribution:

<extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.ui.web.auth.service.PluggableAuthenticationService" point="loginScreen">
  <loginScreenConfig>
    <startupPages>
      <startupPage id="web" priority="1000" />
    </startupPages>
  </loginScreenConfig>
</extension>

Note that the default priority values are:

  • JSF UI (id="jsf"): 100
  • Web UI ( id="web" ): 10

The highest priority wins.

See NXP-19992 for details.
