There are certainly applications out there like this. JEmboss for instance is a Java front end for the EMBOSS programs, running over some sort of SOAP interface. It's uses Jalview internally as a viewer. I've written a new version of Cinema, (sorry about the terrible web page http://www.bioinf.man.ac.uk/dbbrowser/cinema-mx/), which is heavily modular, and designed for just this sort of thing. Unfortunately the actual code to interact with databases is fairly immature, but it would serve as a starting point. And finally ISYS is worth looking at as an integration suite, but sadly its not free. This is all in Java. I have seen more in other languages, but I'm afraid the URL's pass me by.
