JAMWiki is wiki software built around the standard J2EE components of Java, servlets and JSP. It was written by Ryan Holliday and released under the LGPL. JAMWiki uses the same wiki syntax (including templates) as MediaWiki software. However it is not a MediaWiki fork, being implemented from scratch on a top of completely different platform.

JAMWiki internally uses Spring framework and can run both on "true" J2EE servers (like Glassfish) and simpler platforms like Apache Tomcat. Wiki supports big range of various databases.

History

Ryan Holliday started developing JAMWiki in June 2006.
