I would like to host an XMLmind servlet that allows users to convert
word documents into DITA maps using the UI. However, I would also like
the servlet UI to generate topics with meaningful file names using the

Is there any way to enable this option for the servlet’s UI?
The HTML form (the servlet’s UI) contained in the servlet archive
(w2x.war) is just a very simple demo. It's not for production use.
The servlet has no stock UI per se, because it's so simple to create a
custom UI.
For example, our "Convert DOCX to DITA maps and topics" page
(http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/docx_to_dita.html) uses a different form to
invoke the servlet:
---
<form class="convert-form"
action="http://www.xmlmind.com:8080/w2x/convert";
enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" target="_blank">
<input name="_charset_" type="hidden" />
<input name="interactive" type="hidden" value="true" />
<table border="0" class="form-layout">
<tr style="vertical-align: top;">
<td><span class="form-label">DOCX input file:</span></td>
<td>
<input
accept=".docx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"
name="docx" size="70" type="file" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="form-label">Output format:</span></td>
<td><select name="conv">
<optgroup label="DITA map+topics">
<option value="bookmap">bookmap</option>
<option value="map">map</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="DITA topic">
<option value="topic">Topic</option>
<option value="concept">Concept</option>
<option value="reference">Reference</option>
<option value="strict_task">Strict Task</option>
</optgroup>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<input type="submit" value="Convert" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

If you need to pass "-p edit.ids.generate-section-ids yes" to the
conversion, then simply add a hidden "params" <input> to the <form>,
that is,
---
<input name="params" type="hidden"
value="-p edit.ids.generate-section-ids yes" />
---
This gives something starting with:
---
<form class="convert-form"
action="http://www.xmlmind.com:8080/w2x/convert";
enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" target="_blank">
<input name="_charset_" type="hidden" />
<input name="interactive" type="hidden" value="true" />
<input name="params" type="hidden"
value="-p edit.ids.generate-section-ids yes" />
<table border="0" class="form-layout">
...
---
Field "params" may contain as many w2x command-line options as you want.
Field "params" (and also "docx", "conv") is documented here:
http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/manual.html#w2x_servlet_api
I would
rather not fall back to the REST API since the servlet’s UI is otherwise
perfect for our needs.
Understood. However, you'll have to create your own HTML <form> as we
did it for our "Convert DOCX to DITA maps and topics" page and add an
<input name="params" type="hidden" value="..."> to this form.
