Tellier Benoit commented on JAMES-1932:
---------------------------------------
Hi Shravan,
site/* folders are for the Apache website code.
Let's not mix that... Please introduce a new mvn project in
server/protocols/mailet-edition . Serve your code with an embedded server.
Jetty (like JMAP) or Spark-java (like WebAdmin). Then you will need to wire it
in the server/guice/protocols project in order to start it and start playing.
Let's wait other people answer about this. I believe that this pannel can also
belong in WebAdmin... (Maybe on an other path than the Shravan code, to avoid
much conflict).
> Mailet pipeline ui edition tool

> Key: JAMES-1932
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1932
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Matthieu Baechler
> Labels: backend, frontend, gsoc2017, java, js, json, rest, sse
>
> James has to concept of mailet pipeline : for any incoming email, the email
> is passing through the pipeline the is made of matchers and mailets. These
> components allow to implement business rules based on some xml configuration
> and some java component.
> That's a great strength of James and a lot of people use it for this
> capability.
> Nevertheless, editing the pipeline and making tests is painful right now, you
> are left finding solutions like "edit xml, launch server, send an email, read
> logs".
> To ease adoption, we would like to make that process easy and fun by :
> * providing a web ui frontend to design the pipeline
> * given a set of emails, make it possible to visualise each email flow into
> the mailet pipeline to test it
> * define a way to express the expected results to make sure people can save
> their work into automated tests
> To implement that, the student must know enough about web frontend dev to
> implement a pipeline designer and debugger.
> She or he will need to know some java to implement server side logic for :
> * make james accept to reconfigure its pipeline at runtime to take
> modifications into account
> * design a protocol to stream debug data from a pipeline to the web ui and
> implement it server-side in java
> * implement a junit runner to be able to run some special mailet tests based
> on the work done in the web designer.
