Discussion: Mashups

[Adrian Crum]

I need to add mashup capability to my local OFBiz copy. My immediate 
need is a web page scraper that will gather copy counts from our copiers 
and store them as meter readings.

I would like to implement this in a generic way that might be fed back 
into the project. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, however. So, I'm 
opening up the topic for discussion.

Is there any interest in having something like a "mashup engine" or 
"mashup services" in the framework? If yes, what are some strategies we 
can use? Are there any open source libraries we can leverage in an 
implementation?
