Tellier Benoit commented on JAMES-1932:
---------------------------------------
Hi,
After thinking a bit to it, yes I believe you can create a separate mvn project
for it. You would need to create a project in server/protocols (the name you
suggested seems fine to me). server/guice/protocols is for defining guice
bindings for protocols.
I would suggest you to reuse already existing code. You can define a Routes for
mailet-edition that you can then load in web-admin. Note that using web-admin
implies to use java-8 and guice.
May I ask you the implementation steps that you plan to follow? Wich
architecture would you propose for solving the problem stated above?
> Mailet pipeline ui edition tool

> Key: JAMES-1932
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1932
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Matthieu Baechler
> Labels: backend, frontend, gsoc2017, java, js, json, rest, sse
>
> James has to concept of mailet pipeline : for any incoming email, the email
> is passing through the pipeline the is made of matchers and mailets. These
> components allow to implement business rules based on some xml configuration
> and some java component.
> That's a great strength of James and a lot of people use it for this
> capability.
> Nevertheless, editing the pipeline and making tests is painful right now, you
> are left finding solutions like "edit xml, launch server, send an email, read
> logs".
> To ease adoption, we would like to make that process easy and fun by :
> * providing a web ui frontend to design the pipeline
> * given a set of emails, make it possible to visualise each email flow into
> the mailet pipeline to test it
> * define a way to express the expected results to make sure people can save
> their work into automated tests
> To implement that, the student must know enough about web frontend dev to
> implement a pipeline designer and debugger.
> She or he will need to know some java to implement server side logic for :
> * make james accept to reconfigure its pipeline at runtime to take
> modifications into account
> * design a protocol to stream debug data from a pipeline to the web ui and
> implement it server-side in java
> * implement a junit runner to be able to run some special mailet tests based
> on the work done in the web designer.
