Yes, I think J-EAI might be the way to go. It's aims is to provide a 
tailored XMPP based platform for interapplications exchanges.
It has been integrated with a connector tools that allow to configure 
connector that can listen to data coming from the XMPP stream and do 
something with them (transformation, insertion in database, etc). The 
reverse connector is also provided to inject data coming from other 
sources into the XMPP bus.
Your problem is typically what J-EAI is made for. The underlying XMPP 
engine is ejabberd a very robust, scalable and full featured XMPP 
implementation.
It also include extended publish and subscribe support, which is 
essential for interapplication communication. More to come on this side 
very soon.

I hope this helps,
