[Mediawiki-l] integrating MediaWiki with Java applets/servlets

[Edward Swing]

We're doing something like this already. Specifically, we are using a
Java client to retrieve, query, and update wiki pages. We have written a
Java class that wraps the api.php, and accesses it through web calls
(opening URL connections, parsing XML, etc.).

Since the database is on the wiki server, and our application may be on
a different server, we do not access the database directly. If you
wanted to do that, I would probably get the SQL schema from the
documentation and use JDBC calls.

Hello all,

How well does MediaWIki work with Java? If I want to use Java code to
parse files, access the database, provide or process content for my
Wiki - how easy or hard is it to make that happen?

Thanks.

Boris.
