Thanks Steve, I think I pretty much had the JAMES.conf.xml file figgured
out, it was the integration of my mailet jar file that I was having trouble
with.... I think I now got it figured out also, and would like to pass along
a suggestion to the James developers to make the following change (or
something simular) to the James run.bat file.... It would have helped me a
lot, to quickly understand what I needed to do, and it shouldn't hurt anyone
who doesn't use any custom mailets... So here is my version of run.bat -
@echo off
echo Avalon runner
rem add custom mailet jars to then end of the MAILET_PATH, for example
rem SET MAILET_PATH=../lib/mailet.jar;../lib/myNewMailets.jar;
SET MAILET_PATH=../lib/mailet.jar;
SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%MAILET_PATH%
set
LOCAL_CLASSPATH=Loader.jar;../lib/AvalonAware.jar;../lib/xerces.jar;../lib/m
ail_1_2.jar;../lib/activation.jar
java -cp "%CLASSPATH%;%LOCAL_CLASSPATH%" org.apache.avalon.loader.Main
It was figuring out that I needed to also add the supplied mailet.jar file
to my CLASSPATH that threw me! ;-) Marc....

James? I am trying to create a custom mailet which will intercept certain
emails sent to a special user and process those emails in a special fashion.
So far I have figured that I have to insert a specification for the mailet
in the James.conf.xml file, though I wasn't sure exactly where... The xml
specification I came up with is as follows -

appears to me, that there is some sort of special class loader application
that the James/Avalon code is using to load these mailets, but I couldn't
find any documentation on how it is done.... Where do I place the Jar file
containing my mailet class, and how do I specify that it is to be loaded...
I tried the trick of adding the jar file to the CLASSPATH environment
variable within the run.bat startup file for the James server, but that
didn't work...
