Hi Alexander,

I replied to the mailing list since your initial mail should have gone
to this list since it is about the Apache Droids project.

Your use case sounds very interesting and our company has a similar case
in planing state. Droids is a framework so we are talking to extend the
framework with a couple of components.

Sounds good and actually the current architecture offers nearly all the
components that are needed. We may need to review the task interface to
allow xml configuration but that should not be a problem. The listener
approach, that a droids accept xml task via http, but is running a demon
on the server is the way I always saw a droid.

Always happy to see new people on this list and we will try our best to
give you a helping hand.
