Hi, right now you have the choice of several products to run JSPWiki: Tomcat, Jetty, Wildfly, Weblogic and Websphere (liberty). WildFly Swarm even gives you a full application if you prefer microservices. I do not see anything in Spring that we don't already have.
A far more important missing feature is probably a decent mobile experience. We need a mobile Skin or even an App. Greetings, Juergen Am 06.10.2017 01:45 schrieb "David Vittor" <dvit...@gmail.com>: > Hi Team, > > I'm thinking of moving the backend of JSPWiki to use Spring, and down the > track to Spring Boot? > > Would this be worthwhile for the community?
