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?
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"?
Thanks,
Allen

Hi Allen,
that's not quite the same configuration, but XWiki Enterprise has a portal
mode that's meant for the wiki to be embedded within a portal.
Additionnally, if you look at any wiki page by adding ?xpage=plain at the
end of the URL you'll see that you can get the content only of a wiki page
and add whatever you want around it.
So basically XWiki does have the underlying mechanisms required for it to be
used in embedded mode. I don't know the specifics of the application you're
developing, but I'd say it should work fine.

Yes you can use only XWiki services using one of the following remote
APIs we support:
* XMLRPC
* REST
* GWT

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
