URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4104
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Improvement

SparkJava (com.sparkjava:spark-core) is a critical dependency in the James
codebase,
used across 90+ files, but has entered an unmaintained state:
* 200+ unresolved issues on GitHub
* No active development for 3 years (last commit: July 2022)
* Compatibility risks with modern Java/Jakarta EE
Security concerns due to outdated dependencies
