Hi Alex! regarding rolling upgrades / load balancing, they should be possible as long as you shared your "wiki work dir" (containing f.ex., lucene indexes) and your wiki pages/attachment filesystem. Also, by default there's a caching layer in front of the file system access to pages and attachments, ehcache based. That should be tuned too in order to share the cache among your wiki instances.
As for the wiki installation, the wiki page dir you note on the installation is the path were the wiki pages should be extracted. I don't have the installation page on my head now, so perhaps the behaviour is different.. Also, I noticed you opened a ticket a few days ago regarding installation, so there's also that (I'll try to look at it thie week btw). Last, regarding container based authentication, it's definitely possible. We have some integration tests [#2] that run through several JSPWiki instances. The "-cma-" ones are those configured to use container managed authentication.
