I think the closest existing services are actually the domain services I have on my github repo for Word, Excel and String interpolation [1], [2], [3]. I think it'd also be worthwhile providing some domain entities (mapped to be persistent with JDO) to represent the domain concepts, for example an EmailTemplate or SmsMessageTemplate. This could become an all-purpose "communication channel" module for others to reuse. Note that Estatio [4] already provides a Links repo/Link entity that leverages [3]. The JDO implementation of the CommandService and BackgroundService [4],[5] (as used by the command-context service that you referenced) has support for this with the CommandJdo entity. Similarly the JDO impl of AuditingService provides an AuditEntryJdo entity [6], and the JDO impl of PublishingService provides a PublishedEventJdo entity [7]. So there are plenty of examples to work from. I have less things to say about the Drools rules engine, but I'm sure it'd be useful. Oscar's project has done some sort of integration, so perhaps there are ideas there that could be generalised. Oscar? My only concern about this project is whether it is large enough in scope to fill up an entire summer. I wrote the string interpolation service [3] in an evening, for example, and the Links/Link service in Estatio only took a couple more hours. But maybe an all-purpose comms channel module plus a rules engine service (with additional entities to administer the rules themselves) might be big enough.
