Hi,
I'm trying that also and I'm very interested in the topic.

I'm trying to 'merge' a given J2EE app with XWiki to enhance the 
existing app with XWikis community features.
(Comments, annotations, documentation, help, e.t.c.).

So far I've managed to make them both running under a common domain name 
with some tweaking of Apache mod-proxy and unifying the (example) urls
http://example.com/app/here_goes_my_java_app 
<http://mydomain.com/app/here_goes_my_java_app>
http://example.com/docs/heres_the_wiki_stuff 
<http://mydomain.com/docs/heres_the_wiki_stuff>

Apache Httpd (mod_proxy) is configured as a seperate service to run 
upfront of the servelet container (Tomcat).
This took some effort as I had to learn a lot about the Apache mod_proxy 
stuff but its not XWiki related so far.

As both apps have quite a different look and feel I've further been 
struggling with adapting XWikis skins to the look and feel of my app -
this turned out be be less work than I thought just by adding my apps 
stylesheet WebPreferences and commenting out a lot of the
existing styles with 'display: none'.

Both apps have their own db and the next step is to achieve single logon -
I haven't yet managed that but plans are to make XWiki looking up for 
users in the my apps database.

Currently I'm having trouble with the anonymous commenting feature of 
xwiki, it always rejects all input.
Maybe this has to do with my setup but all other stuff works pretty well.
Is anybody aware of a public xwiki with enabled anon commenting feature ?

As its sort of fun and part time project things may take a while ...
If you are interested please drop me a note and I'll send a mail once it 
is online ...

Have fun
Andreas
