René Cordier updated JAMES-3074:
--------------------------------
Description:
By doing an attempt on strong typing UidValidity, it raised a lot of questions
and issues on how it is managed actually in James (see
[https://github.com/linagora/james-project/pull/3132]). The result is we likely
have many invalid UID_VALIDITY generated in James.
The proposition to enhance UidValidity usage in James is the following one (in
2 phases):
* tactical move: merge the strong typing + ensure we don't generate new
invalid values. This will at list help with new deployments:
** strong type UidValidity
** use UidValidity.of only for deserialization, to not break already existing
running James instances
** use a factory with a create method that should be the only way used for
generating new UidValidity. It needs to be unique, using *random*, respecting
the RFC definition:
{code:java}
nz-number = digit-nz *DIGIT
; Non-zero unsigned 32-bit integer
; (0 < n < 4,294,967,296)
{code}
* strategical move: fix all and every invalid UID_VALIDITY (at the cost of
resynchronisation)
