Hi, see response inline.

Hi All,
I have the goal to be able to hook James into TomEE as a JavaEE Connector and
receive and process mail. Hoping it's an afternoon or two of work, but I
suspect I may be disappointed :)
We ship a war with a init-servlet that starts james.
So integrating james in a web container is validated/compatible, now the
JEE connector is another story.
At a high level it appears I need to get James setup and the mailet support
setup, whatever that might entail.
First, not sure which branch to use stable (2.x) or trunk (3.x). The answer to
that will likely depend on other details.
Here's what I'll need to turn it into a Connector:
- The ability to configure everything in code
- Use James as a plain java library (no shell scripts or separate
processes)
- Ideally Java APIs for configuring instead of XML
- Add/remove mailets in code while the server is running
My gut says I'd likely be in trunk for much of this -- that's usually the way
things go. Couple questions there:
- How stable is trunk?
By definition, unstable but usable.
- Does receiving basic email via mailets work?
Yes
Minor side not on Mailets. Nearly all links from the word "mailet" on the
website are to the API. I haven't yet found the page that says what steps are required
to set it up. Will keep searching, but if someone knows the right like and could post
it, excellent.
