The original post's goal was to run James within a J2EE server. I never intended to suggest this would be easy or possible at all ;-) ...

But nevertheless, I think it would be a benefitial long time goal. Even though this is probably not the use case for the majority of James users. And JCA would be the right way to do this.
I have contributed to open source projects before, but usually just to contribute bug fixes or to file bug reports. I am currently working on collaboration software at http://cardmeeting.com that I hope to integrate James with at some point as the project matures and notifications are needed. If I didn't have CardMeeting, I'd probably take you up on your suggestion - I feel like James is one of the most important Apache top level projects and there's not enough visibility on it yet. A lot of glory yet to be had. :)
:-) thank you for the flowers. stay tuned! Bernd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
