-------------------------------------
Summary: Make IMAP modular
Key: JAMES-3867
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3867
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: guice, IMAPServer
Reporter: Benoit Tellier
Fix For: 3.8.0
As an IMAP administrator I want to customize IMAP processing easily. This
includes removing/adding/changing IMAP processors/encoders/decoders.
This allows the following use cases:
- Add support for (potentially custom) IMAP extensions without recompiling
James
- Removing support for buggy commands easily, if any
- Enforcing "read only behaviour"
- Customizing some commands. For instance one of my customers got a tricky non
standard IMAP authenticate command to handle.
The admin would specify a list of ImapPackage (which is itself a bundle of
processors/encoders/decoders) from the imapserver.xml configuration file. By
default, if unspecified the default IMAP package would be used.
Both ImapPackage/processors/encoders/decoders loading would leverage the
extensions-jars mechanism.
h3. Definition of done
Write an exemple of such modularization writing a PING / PONG command and load
it into a James server.
{code:java}
A001 PING whatever
* PONG whatever
A001 OK PING command completed.
{code}
