OCaml in enterprise stack

Question

I'm trying to figure out how OCaml is represented in enterprise technology stack. For example, Is there in Ocaml own enterprise message queue or workflow engine?

So, can anybody advice me frameworks for OCaml from the following aspects:

Workflow engine
Service bus
Message Queue
ORM
HTTP Server

Update #1: Workflow Engine

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workflow_engine
http://www.jboss.org/drools - one of implementations in Java technology stack.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Workflow_Foundation - implementation of WE in .NET technology stack

How does an enterprise message queue differ from an ordinary message queue? — Gilles 'SO- stop being evil', Dec 28 '11 at 20:49
Drools isn't workflow engine, it's rules engine, for full list of open source workflow engines for java see this page http://java-source.net/open-source/workflow-engines — Troydm, Aug 24 '13 at 22:06

Perhaps ocamlnet answers partly to your questions. If you want to code web server (or services) in Ocaml, consider also Ocsigen

(and I don't really understand the entreprise stack sentence; for me it is a marketing buzz word without a clearly defined technical content)

I have no idea of what a "list item" is for you. I am not sure to understand "workflow engine" neither.

And the Ocaml Hump is a nice place to find Ocaml software.

Thank you for your answer. I agree with you regarding the term 'enterprise'. But I had to find one very capacious word which encompasses several very common issues we face with in enterprise application development – madcyree Dec 28 '11 at 10:34

For message queues: NetAMQP.

For an ORM: maybe Macaque can fit here. It's not exactly like what you can find elsewhere, but it fits the functional spirit.

For an HTTP server: Ocsigen. It also includes a framework for developing web applications (client and server) entirely in OCaml. Ocamlnet also provides libraries useful to write CGI applications as well as an Apache connector.

In addition to the other answers already posted, see Opa

It's a web development langauge/framework written in OCaml. It takes a unique approach in that the server, database and app are all in one executable.
