I am hopping to solicit feedback and to find mentor(s).
Overview: Drupal on Enterprise Service Bus will provide a UI to an Enterprise Service Bus such as ActiveMQ or MuleESB or GlassFish and will provide Drupal access to said ESB without forking Drupal Core.
Description: Drupal is not a stand-a-lone player and as is popularity increases in business/enterprise applications including business intelligence, e-commerce, intranets and ERP so does the need for integrations. DoESB will help focus such "one-off" efforts to the assembly line of a common ESB with much lower entry barriers. The applicant is currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science, has participated in Drupal based website implementations, is a member of the EFF, FSF and IEEE, and is a true believer of the public commons importance.
This effort is expected to focus on D7 and it is expected that business applications will focus on D6 for some time, but this is not a conundrum for it is likely for this project to be in alpha and beta stages for a long time. The scope of this project is to produce an alpha - fixed features, clear architecture, suitable for testing.
