I´ve already been in converse with some other java people and the Avalon
framework is looking good for a basis. I´m currently a bit stumped by
the parsing requirements for the Calendar Structured Query Language but
there are several projects in Java that would help in that area.

I was hoping to sit the server on top of JBoss as that is my experience
and I like its ability to fail-over/cluster.
