this will be a challenge I am sure but well worth your time

this project looks really promising ...

here some start from my side:

jdom i have a pkg and will include it to extra asap (it was on my to_extra list at place 31 but it is really fast done)

these dependences should be made working first:

- jdbc.jar (Java Database Connectivity, should be provided with your database)
=> i don't think that mysql provides this classes

- mail.jar (JavaMail API)
funny ... i found it in emboss (/usr/share/EMBOSS/jemboss/lib/mail.jar), but we need a standalone one

- activation.jar (JavaBeans Activation Framework)
same here: /usr/share/EMBOSS/jemboss/lib/activation.jar

with these, we are able to build this thing ... but then the install-file of the pkg can be really complicated, as it should handle the configuration of the whole thing:

  4.1    - Perl / CGI
  4.2    - Servlet Engine 
  4.2.1    Jakarta Tomcat
  4.2.2    Apache Jserv 
  4.3    - Database / Postgres
  4.4    - Ldap / OpenLDAP
  4.4.1    Add first User and Group  
  4.5    - Website / Apache
  4.6  - The Filespool
  4.7  - The WebDAV Interface
  4.7.1    With Tomcat
  4.7.2    With Jserv

trouble to expect:
- missing perl-modules => dependencies
- apache jserv/tomcat trouble
- ldap integration

anyone making the 2nd step? ;-)

I'm just packaging javamail, gimmie a few mins to try and make my own set of packages for this if you will

# Contributed by Paul "Winkie" Robins - paul at gamingmp.com
pkgname=javamail
pkgver=1.3.1
pkgrel=1

pkgdesc="The JavaMail API provides a platform-independent and protocol-independent framework to build mail and messaging applications"
url="http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/"

depends=(j2sdk)

source="http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/java-sun/javamail/javamail-1_3_1.zip"
md5sums="6fd3f682a6a349a54ed4486965d82f06"

build() {
        # Make the appropriate directories which j2sdk will have already added.
        mkdir $startdir/pkg/opt $startdir/pkg/opt/java $startdir/pkg/opt/java/lib

        # Copy the .jars into the right place
        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
        cp mail.jar $startdir/pkg/opt/java/lib/
        cp lib/* $startdir/pkg/opt/java/lib/
}

That should do fine for just javamail.

anyone making the 2nd step? ;-)

For list and sources of needed perl modules and other things check howtos http://www.datux.nl/documentatie/openxchange (for example slackware 10 howto gives lists of packages and links to sources and some config tips - should be a good start).

Another problem could be versions of packages (if you depend on arch packages) and how will they work together with latest arch gcc, kernel etc.

Unfortunatelly due to lack of internet connection from home I can't join you in this research right now but I'll watch this topic :-)
