i think as it stands now, org.jboss.mail.mailbox.Folder is an ok interface.
as far as authentication goes, wouldn't we eventually want to use something based on javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule? and also use entity beans for user accounts and relate them by CMR (1-N) to our MessageBeans rather than use a 'folderName' CMP field? pretty simple to extend org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsernamePasswordLoginModule if we want to do this. may also be useful to have a mailing-list entity bean, in a many-to-many relationship with the user entity bean. in this case, i'm guessing we'd want to have a common ServiceProxy interface which both StaticUserRepositoryMBean and (doesn't exist yet) something like 'EntityUserRepositoryMBean' make available, which also has methods having to do with mailing-list addresses? the implementation provided by EntityUserRepositoryMBean would invoke entity bean and finder methods, most likely through the LoginModule i just mentioned. i believe that if a mailing list message goes out to 100 people, there will only be one or two header lines that differ among all those messages, so we may want to at least break our single MessageBean into two --- one containing a monolithic String 'headers' CMP field, and the other containing the 'body' CMP field; they'd be joined up in a bidirectional 1-N CMR (one body for many sets of headers). so then we could well-represent 100 duplicate message bodies as a single bean and save space/time etc.. this would be much less 'fine-grained' than my earlier proposal; but again, this could be implemented later with virtually no penalty since i think our interfaces are well designed and there are more pressing issues right now. <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3826060#3826060";>View the original post</a> <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3826060>Reply to the post</a> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
