But i don't see how we could let james work without a kind-of-container. MimeMessageWrapper is util, MailImpl is not util nor container, so you're right, we need some kind of core. I wonder if we could get rid of this intermediate MailImpl and directly use the Mail from Mailet project. But of course, this would introduce a direct dependency between the server and the mailet, something that would not be needed if someone wants to gives access in read only to the mailbox. The MailsServer/SpoolManager: to be rethinked with a copter view and with that stupid question: "what's a James server?" True, we don't need some container-api for the different container-* Tks for your feedbacks :)
The last time I commented on such things I went a little wild and spewed a bit too much. I will keep it more succinct this time but it is worth saying.
I think the use of the word 'container' is a really bad term to use for expressing the notion of modern networked software.
If I was to put in my two cents I would say James server is a 'synergistic and empathetic network of components arranged as a modular enterprise mail server'.
Container terminology use is profuse so it might be difficult to use other terms. I do think it would be worth discussing what it 'is' exactly because I think container suggests a particular viewpoint where another might be more appropriate.
Actually, as I sit here writing I might have had an idea, what about 'Cloud of Components' or 'Component Cloud' with all this cloud computing business about at present.
Could it be that James Server is a Component Cloud of type Modular Enterprise Mail Server?
I don't know if that's a joke or if I am actually being serious. Regards, Simon
Align packages hierarchy of the services ---------------------------------------- Key: JAMES-1074 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1074 Project: JAMES Server Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.0-M1 Reporter: Eric Charles Assignee: Eric Charles Fix For: 3.0-M1 We need to align package service hierarchy to have stable api, uniformity and osgi-deployable. For example, the proposed hierarchy for a "mail" service is: org.apache.james.mail.api (in the mail api project) org.apache.james.mail.lib (in the mail library project) org.apache.james.mail.jpa (in the mail jpa impl project) org.apache.james.mail.jcr (in the mail jcr impl project) .... The conf files and spring-beans.xml need to be updated according to the repackaging.
