SHRAVAN MURALI commented on JAMES-1932:
---------------------------------------

Hi [~matthieu-at-arkoon] , [~BTellier]

I've now made changes to the UI as suggested. I haven't implemented the drag 
and drop of mailets alone. Here is the link to the UI : 
https://cdn.rawgit.com/shravan97/web_game/c90b1d74/mailet.html

Apart from this, I've created my proposal as well. Here is the link to my 
proposal : https://gist.github.com/shravan97/2c99dbb6d033b174b24acba1206b9a45

I'd certainly like to hear suggestions from both of you. And I'd also like to 
let you know that I've subscribed to the server-dev mailing list

> 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.
