Danny,
I am looking at the code, and trying to understand something. In
James.java, there are some places were we have:
compMgr.put(MailServer.ROLE, this);
A similar call
compMgr.put("org.apache.mailet.MailetContext", this)
is commented out.
JamesSpoolManager gets the MailetContext by looking it up with exactly that
string from the component manager, so clearly it is registered. The only
other reference to the string is in james-assembly, where the
JamesSpoolManager block has an element that says:
<provide name="James" role="org.apache.mailet.MailetContext"/>
which I understand to say that the entity labeled as James provides the
MailetContext role to the Spooler.
Is the difference because MailServer.ROLE is looked up by many objects that
are not components, and don't have their own block in the assembly file,
thus there is no other way to specify what object provides that role to
them?
