Hi David, thanks for the feature request. The natural way to deploy a system like James within a J2EE container would be by wrapping James into a JCA module. As far as Geronimo is involved, James components could also be wrapped into GBeans.
AFAIK, currently nobody is working on either of this. So in the near future, I don't see how your request could be fullfilled, except... ...Maybe you would like to participate and contribute to this worthwhile effort? :-) I would try to help wherever I can...

Hello all, I'm running a website on a single server configuration. My goal is to get all of our components running in one VM. Part of this goal is to maximize the limited RAM we have by allocating one giganzo JVM heap, reduce Java process contention for OS scheduling, and limit the need for remote EJB calling when I want to invoke components, say, from a mailet into some deployed EJB's I've got. If everything is deployed on one VM, theoretically, I should be able to do local EJB calls. My J2EE server is Geronimo 1.1, I'm launching hypersonic DB from within Geronimo, and now I'd like to be able to deploy James as an EAR that can gracefully startup and shutdown with Geronimo - a servlet could manage the James lifecycle via the init() and destroy() methods. (If James doesn't support shutdown without JVM shutdown, then that's a feature that I would like to see added to James as well.) I envision the startup/shutdown order within Geronimo would be: 1. Hypersonic DB 2. My Shared Components (custom EJB's, J2C connectors) 3. James + Mailets (using Hypersonic DB) 4. My Application In the future, I imagine the Apache DNS and LDAP Directory server could also be deployed in Geronimo as well once I feel like it's ready for primetime, probably started between 1 and 2. Since there seems to be a lot of active development in both Geronimo and James right now, I thought now would be a good time to throw in my $0.02 and make the request. For the time being, I will deploy James in a separate VM, (but with far fewer system resources than it would get if I could launch it within Geronimo.) Cheers, Dave Woldrich
