Data Virtualization

Hi,

I'm writing to this list for the first time, and breaking the first rule,
since I have not looked at the archives to see if this topic has come up
previously, but if you will indulge me...

Last year I attempted to run JBoss Data Virtualization, which provides a
way to make SOAP and REST messages, JNDI and Hibernate sources, all kinds
of data sources look like sql database tables. Well to me it seemed a
perfect solution for 20 years ago.

If xproc were sitting in a servlet container with some way to configure
endpoints and processing scripts it could create the kinds of documents
applications use (which is mostly json but svg pdf html csv also)  indeed
if you have seen some of these Hibernate queries it's obvious there's some
backflips to create the right json for some front end UI.

Another use case is BPMN as a front controller to manage the logic state.

Well that's my salvo. Thank you
