You may want to look at the Messaging Design Pattern (MDP) pattern and associated framework while putting together your application:
- Messaging Design Pattern (MDP) and pattern implementation - Published in the 17th conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP 2010). https://jt.dev.java.net/files/documents/5553/150311/designPatterns.pdf a) Java Pattern Oriented Framework, An application of the Messaging Design Pattern IBM Technical Library http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-designpattern/index.html - Messaging Design Pattern and a distributed Component/Service Model https://jt.dev.java.net/files/documents/5553/149793/MDPdistributedModel.pdf Restful Web services looks like a good fit. Other protocols are also supported. The framework provide the infrastructure (plumbing) required to handle application specific messaging.
