+1 from me. I'm not quite sure of the voting rules given that I am
active in one Commons project only.
I saw your discussion on jakarta-general list and am personally pleased
that you are back.
You had stated that you'd be keen on EJB. I'd like to propose that you
consider two alternate scenarios:
1) Refactor to use jakarta-avalon-phoenix as a base, with
jakarta-avalon-excalibur, jakarta-avalon-cornerstone and jakarta-commons
components to assist development.
2) Merge in with the jakarta-james project. This is as (1) above, but a
preexisting project. They already have a server that simulteaeously
hosts POP3, SMTP, IMAP, NNTP. iCalendar (as a related RFC server
protocol) fits directly with their designs.
If I may cross-quote you:
"If I chose EJB I am probably going to spend a lot of time
explaining it to newcomers, it is a lot more complicated than
non-EJB, but it will be based on what is fast becoming the
industry standard for server side components."
Phoenix exists because you can't make a Mail or Web-server etc from EJB
comps. You can make it from those described in (1) above :
These have done-
JAMES - http://jakarta.apache.org/james/ (Mail)
Jo! - http://www.tagtraum.com/ (web server)
JabberServer - http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabaserver (Jabber IM)
Plus others that are not ready yet.
Regards,
- Paul H
