In the process of tracking down a bug I ran into the nasty mail log thing again. It
was a dumb idea when I implemented it. Or rather it was a good idea with HORRIBLE
tradeoffs. I wanted to be able to turn on and off conversational logging from the JMX
Console or some similar tool. The nasty tradeoffs were:
a divide between our normal log4j logging and this logging.
a disgusting amount of passing around MailLog references which made the code nasty
We do loose the functionality of a on and off switch but we still can turn
conversational logging on and off at runtime with a mere log4j Appender and/ or grep
for "LoggingInputStream" or "WrappedWriter". Here is my log setup:
(normal with the addition near the end of)
<appender-ref ref="JBMAIL"/>
Lastly the bug I tracked down was in AUTH method PLAIN (AUTH PLAIN). A code change
had assumed that the parameter to AUTH would have NO spaces after "AUTH " and
concatanated it. Acutally AUTH PLAIN takes a parameter after plain which is the users
BASE64'd password. This was being concatinated with PLAIN which made any client (such
as mozilla's thunderbird mail client) just seem to hang. Bummer. I fixed the change
to only kill carriage returns and tabs and the such. It was MUCH easier after I
simplified the logging.
Any other thoughts on this? Objections? Questions? Comments? Social Criticisims?
