Ioan Eugen Stan commented on JAMES-1376:
----------------------------------------
First I would like to correct a mistake about conffiles: Debian Policy requires
that they are specified in a special file inside the deb-archive called
conffile. They do not have to end in conf, so that should be up to us. Files
that end in conf are more suggestive to me.
I also agree with the fact that stuff that james users/admins should not
modify should be embedded in jars. I'm not sure about database.properties
though, from what I know, you specify the db connection url there.
My general thought on this is that we should export to the users as little
configs as possible, with sane defaults.
> Config should belong to their modules, shipping should only contain templates

> Now that JAMES-1002 is completed, we can look at further OSGI working and
> also configuration shipping.
> The proposal is:
> - Move the default configuration to their own module (smtpserver.xml to smtp
> module...)
> - Have some templates (smtp.xml.template ) shipped so a administrator can
> override the smtp.xml with the provided template. We should use the files
> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/app/trunk/src/main/config/examples.
> This has a benefits that these rich configured files will be used and
> reviewed along the recent changes.
> @Ioan, I wonder if the *.xml.template would work with JAMES-1343?
