I'm starting a webapp project in Clojure (http://clojure.org), and I'm looking for a wiki engine to embed. I want to control the look and feel of my application, and use the wiki engine as a backend only. i.e. on wiki pages I will have my own menus and other content around the wiki text.
Is XWiki a good candidate for this?
Yes you can use only XWiki services using one of the following remote APIs we support: * XMLRPC * REST * GWT
From reading the source code, I think I can figure out how to start an embedded XWiki inside my app. Is this a good idea? The dev documentation was not very helpful in this area, which makes me ask: is this a "supported configuration"?
Yes we don't have much doc on this. To start xwiki you'll need to start the remote service that you wish to use to communicate with XWiki. They are all servlet-based AFAIK. Let us know if you have specific questions. Thanks -Vincent
