To elaborate a little further, here is a little of the approach I use.
I develop in eclipse and I use subversion for SCM. I set up a new eclipse
project and used svn externals to link to common code that shared
between applications -- MySpringBean for example in the following:
// imports....;
public class MyMailet extends GenericMailet {
protected MySpringBean mySpringBean;
// other stuff
public void init(MailetConfig config) throws MessagingException {
super.init(config);
log("------- init begin -------");
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext appContext = new
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
new String[] {
"applicationContext-service.xml",
"applicationContext-hibernate.xml"}
);
mySpringBean = (MySpringBean) appContext.getBean("mySpringBean");
log("------- init end -------");
}
public void service(Mail mail) throws MessagingException {
try {
log("------- servicing new message -------");
mySpringBean.DoIt(mail);
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Error: ", e);
}
log("-------------------------------------");
}
// other stuff...
}
The mailet I developed is pretty simple but it does use hibernate to
persist the objects. my applicationContext-service.xml and
applicationContext-hibernate.xml files contain my bean definitions
and all this gets jar'd up (including the xml files) and I stick
it in ${james_home}/lib
Then in my james config, I add:
<mailet match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" class="MyMailet"/>
There may be better ways to go but I hope this helps a little more or helps
someone else facing this. Sometimes just knowing it can be done is enough!

Hi All
Is there any best practices on having Spring inject objects into the
mailets?
Thank you!
