[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-714?page=comments#action_12455094 ] Robert Burrell Donkin commented on JAMES-714: ---------------------------------------------
I agree that an solution optimised for torque isn't important. I would like a solution that ensures enough information is passed to the backend to allow the backend to flexibly optimise what it can. (FWIW i'm more interested in using JCRs than databases for email storage.) I agree that it would be better to parse the command into something other than SearchTerm's. I think (as you suggest) the model needs to allow a basic (but slow) solution to be created using SearchTerm's against MailMessage's but wonder whether this should be done by a translation layer in the backend. I think the best option would be for me to talk to my friend and use ANTLR to generate a parser and then present the results as a patch. I suspect that the rest of the design may then become clearer... > SearchCommand: Modular Implementation...? > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-714 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-714 > Project: James > Issue Type: Task > Components: IMAPServer > Affects Versions: Trunk > Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin > Priority: Minor > > The Search command is a part of the IMAP specification that is yet to be > implemented in James.
