Hi, i am trying to launch james as a service in my java application but
i don't know how to embbebed it (do not run with run.sh). I need to run
it from a main java class.
if you're using the latest code then the spring deployment is probably
the way to go
and in this case it would be required to put all libraries onto your
classpath which after build have landed in
spring-deployment/target/james-server*/lib
To launch James the Spring-way, just put into your main method
Resource containerResource = new
ClassPathResource("beans-base-config.xml");
Resource applicationResource = new
ClassPathResource("james-assembly.xml");
AvalonApplicationContext context = new
AvalonApplicationContext(containerResource, applicationResource);
and put the xml files onto the classpath.
maybe we should encapsulate this in a launcher
there are launchers generated for Windows and Unix (run.bat + run.sh) at
build time.
they simply build the classpath and invoke
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/james/server/trunk/spring-deployment/src/main/java/org/apache/james/container/spring/Main.java?view=markup
which is basically simply those three lines I quoted.
Since the original poster wanted to start from his/her own application,
he probably wants to skip the launcher part.
Or did you refer to something more advanced like in phoenix-deployment?
NOTE: I will improve this particular code on the way to an OSGi deployment.
