Short URLs / jetty / Official HowTo incomplete?

Hello,

we are using XWiki 15.10.14 on Debian 12 (using official debian packages) with Jetty.

we have configured ShortURLs for our Wiki-Farm and have worked through all the steps in these instructions: ShortURLs

But after that it didn’t work out. In addition we had to add the following snippet to /etc/xwiki/web.xml:

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

1. Will this be overwritten on updates?
2. Is this correct?
3. Do we have to remove other actions with the url-patterns /xwiki/* and /bin/*?
4. Is it generally safe to use Short URLs or is there anything against it?

Maybe the instructions on the ShortURLs could be updated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Just noticed that this step is explained but located under the instructions for Apache. We are using nginx and so we first thought this wasn’t needed for nginx.
