Re: More on Liferay integration

Couldn't figure out how to post to either blog or the forum, so I'm  
responding here :-)

I noticed a couple of worries.  First of all: authentication.   
JSPWiki supports the JAAS authentication scheme out-of-the-box, so  
you can use whatever you have built-in already.  In addition, our  
authentication system is fully pluggable, so you can just write a  
plugin to your own code.

The other worry mentioned was that there would be one global  
namespace for all users.  This is true for the stock jspwiki  
installation (we're working on it!), but if you are embedding, you  
have several choices ranging from using JSPWiki just as a rendering  
engine (and providing the page repository by yourself - might be good  
if you already have a storage system) to spawning a new WikiEngine  
instance for each of your user areas.  So embedders do have a bit  
more freedom than people who just install it.

Anyway, practically all of the internal modules can be overridden via  
configuration, so you do have quite a lot of flexibility in figuring  
out just the right level of integration to your app!
