I'm assuming you just need the middleware piece, and not the piece
that delivers messages to a browser.
I asked mod-pubsub friend Mike Dierken for some suggestions, and
here's what he wrote...

There are several messageware vendors that do this - is Ken looking for a
Free system?
I'd go with a cheap, free or open-source Java compatible messaging system
(active-mq, sonic-mq) and build an HTTP bridge and manually integrate the
net side of things. You can use the Destiny project on SourceForge as a
starting point for the JMS-to-HTTP bridge. It's pretty basic and mostly an
example at this point, but it's something.
