    PHP EAI Solution? (vs BizTalk)

    Hi,

    I'm tasked with a project where I am responsible for designing and
    implementing a solution to an enterprise application integration problem.
    This is an e-commerce site which needs to exchange messages with multiple
    disparate systems on a frequent basis.

    I'm looking for an existing PHP (I would consider other open source)
    solutions for consideration.

    The features I'd like would be thus:
    1. Configurable adapters for connecting to data sources (ftp, soap, file,
    db, etc.)
    2. Modular pipelining for transforming data and encapsulating business
    rules.
    3. Both scheduled and event triggered message exchange.
    4. Robust logging and notification when failures occur.

    There is some internal pressure within the organization to utilize BizTalk
    for this problem, but I feel this would be overkill in both capital and
    labor costs.

    If I can make a convincing argument for linux/apache/php, I can overcome the
    pressure to utilize Microsoft and BizTalk.

    I'd appreciate being pointed in the direction of any existing php/opensource
    framework for this. Having to design and program the solution from scratch
    in PHP would be less desirable, but may be possible.

    Thanks,
    SD
