The document discusses Building an Integration Platform with Grails and Gradle. It proposes a plugin pattern for integration platforms, including elements like plugin identification, lifecycle management, dependencies, services, configuration, and metadata. It then describes how Moab Web Services (MWS) at Adaptive Computing implements an integration platform based on this pattern using Grails and Gradle. Key aspects of MWS's implementation are plugin identification via class names and annotations, lifecycle management via states and a control service, and dynamic configuration of plugins.
