One thing we've been very good with Trails is not to reinvent the wheel. Depending on your data access protocol needs, there are some excellent libraries out there. If you are looking for SOAP-based access I'd recommend checking out Apache XFire/CXF and for REST, Jersey, the reference implementation for JAX-RS (
https://jersey.dev.java.net/). Since you are mostly dealing with POJOs, it's pretty easy to make the data available through some other protocol & presentation layer than http/html.

One thing that I noticed is missing on Trails is access to it via a web
service so that other apps can utilize the data access. Ruby on Rails has a
mechanism to allow external service access, so I was wondering if you guys
were planning on adding that feature?
Thanks.
