I'm working on designing a light-weight batch processing framework for a SOA project - after encountering too much frustration trying to work with the Spring Batch 1.0.1 release. The complete absence of the dependency jar files in release 1.0.1 was the last straw.
As part of the filter processing for files in an inbound application directory - I'm leveraging Java's builtin Regex features: Introduction to the Java.util.regex Object Model

I'm looking at integrating a heterogenous environment of a legacy mainframe CICS environment, Windows Server 2003, and Redhat Linux running in an Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) on some mainframe hardware to leverage appoximately 240 Mips that are currently unused).
Web Services will form the core of the integration strategy - based on a Service Oriented Architecture.
To provide guaranteed message delivery, I'm looking at possibly leveraging one or more of the following:
Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ 3.0) for the Window environment;
Apache ActiveMQ (currently 5.0) [or IONA Message Broker] - for the IFL environment;
and potentially IBM WebSphere MQ for the CICS environment.
One possible tool to leverage to help flatten the learning curve for the .NET developers on the team: Apache NMS project, the .Net Messaging API.
This of course creates quite a challenge for the day-to-day operational management of the message queue infrastructure.
One possible monitoring solution that came up during some research is Hyperic HQ: The Complete Systems Management
Another candidate for monitoring the JMS infrastructure: HermesJMS
To add to the complexity stew, we have Microsoft BizTalk 2006 R2 selected as a core component of the solution architecture, as well as IONA Artix 5.1.
In doing some research on the message queue integration topic, I've come across the following web resources that could be useful to others:
Some of the new team members working with me on a client SOA project are responsible for the Enterprise Messaging and Ontology efforts - these articles on DevX SOA Showcase could be helpful to them:
I will need to begin writing some admin scripts to manage some of the operational aspects of the Enterprise Architecture / SOA that I'm buliding, and my plan is to first look at Groovy as a tool to help with those tasks:
For future reference, I found a Python Mini-Learning Guide on the The ServerSide Interoperability Blog.

HermesJMS is an extensible console that helps you interact with JMS providers making it easy to browse or seach queues and topics, copy messages around and delete them. It fully integrates with JNDI letting you discover administered objects stored, create JMS sessions from the connection factories and use any destinations found. Many providers include a plugin that uses the native API to do non-JMS things like getting queue depths (and other statistics) or finding queue and topic names.

JMS Adapters for .NET & BizTalk
JNBridge JMS Adapter for BizTalk Server - (km: but at their quoted price of $$9,950 seems excessive).
BizTalk Utilities (tutorials) currently includes six different adapters including Databases, Messaging, SAP, SOA Accelerator, XMS and a Legacy Adapter. They work with all Microsoft BizTalk Server versions (2006, 2004, 2002) and editions (Enterprise, Standard and Partner). (km: pricing is MUCH more reasonble between $500-$4,000).
J-Integra® Interoperability SolutionsJ-Integra® Interoperability Product Suite currently consists of: J-Integra® for COM (Java/COM), J-Integra® for Exchange (Java/Exchange), J-Integra® Espresso (Java/CORBA/.NET), and J-Integra® for .NET (Java/.NET).
