I went through the code and you're right, it doesn't look like it would be all that hard to implement - except for the JavaMail problem. I'll send a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking that they accommodate our need, but who knows if that will help. I'll cc james-dev.
I just spent some time going through the JavaMail source to see if there is any possible way of hooking into it. It's bleak. Anything that could possibly be of use is private. Even package visibility would give me an entry point. And of course we can't redistribute a modified JavaMail... I *detest* Sun's idea of open source. Grrrrr. Yep, from the state chart in the rfc (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2645.html), ATRN only goes one-way. There is no flipping back. Seems like it would be *really* easy to add ATRN to James if only there was a javax.mail.Service.connect(Socket s). :-( Thanks, Jeff Schnitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Serge Knystautas Subject: Re: ATRN Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 04:45:18 -0700 Jeff, James doesn't support it right now. Part of the problem is that we're using JavaMail's transport API to deliver messages, so we'd have to write out own SMTP delivery code to support ATRN. I conceptually understand how ATRN works as well, but don't know how you would go about writing that in the connection handling code that wouldn't look really ugly. James can queue mail however necessary, and the SMTP handling code is nice in it's own class. As to whether this would take a week if more up to your ability and how much time in that week you really have. Would you see that ATRN supports only 1 flip (i.e., we start as the server role and can flip to be the clip role, but won't flip back)? If that's the case, it might not be so hard. It would be kind of a nice feature. I would suggest you start looking at the code, and maybe it will start making sense quickly. Aside from the "client" code dependency on JavaMail (which you might be able to work through as a hack), James is pretty much in a good position to support ATRN. -- Serge Knystautas Loki Technologies - Unstoppable Websites http://www.lokitech.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
