that's not the point - nathan is upset - and rightly so - because a known bug that will render james inoperable was not clearly specified; neither in the config nor the readme.
since there are many variances of james running in production environments - which are active contributors to these lists, it makes sense to maintain a gotcha file (not the bug list) of known bugs in their configurations that will bring james down. what was suggested was to maintain a list of system critical caveats that would point out system configurations that are known to fail. > -----Original Message----- > From: Josip Almasi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, December 25, 2004 14:35 > To: James Users List > Subject: Re: RE : i need help urgently > > > Nathan Cheng wrote: > > > > So a message like this in config.xml would haved saved me a > lot of trouble: > > > > "Use of mordred with Sun Java 1.4.2_03 may result in a > deadlock under > > some circumstances; use of DBCP in these same circumstances > will make > > your deadlock go away." > > Easy to say _now_, but if we knew that before, you'd be able > to learn it > from this list.
