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.

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"?
