I do not see isue with the "POJO" mania. But for lots of people POJO means magin persistance container with little/no lifecycle. Such lightweight container are nice but when it comes to real QoS it is not a simple story. For me, POJO is only about having little technical impact on business model. In this way, EJB3 is realy a good perspective, because you keep the POJO spirit without having the tradoff as beeing in a J2EE space you will benefit if required from the QoS services and capabilities. Going so, James will be able to fit to whatever load on whatever configuration. > > > Embeding the James connectors in JCA > > > > JCA doesn't seem to over any benefit in this area at all.

Same for POP3 or IMAP4, or even WEBDAV/WebMail ;-) All this is connectors pushing or pulling resources to the core service that is handling the message life (creation, storage, fetching, archiving, grouping, triggering, ...). > > Actually, I've always wanted a JCA connector for incoming email so I could > have MDBs consume email. Oh how wonderful that would be! Exactly ! you get it :) There is a good example of inbound JCA for emails, http://www.theserverside.com/articles/article.tss?l=J2EE1_4 With this example you can receive emails thru a JMS message on a method like : public void onMessage(javax.mail.Message message) Isn't life simple ? ;-) Anyway, that is just some late night toughts.
