Basically, we're doing some early research into being an email provider for our

1. How do I tie together James authentication and our application
authentication so I don't have to manage two user sets?
Just implement your own UserRepository [1] (use JPAUsersRepository [2]
as an example) and register your implementation in userrepository.conf [3].
We have already tested some small components such the DNS service
(james-server-dnsservice-dnsjava) in an OSGI container, but for the
complete James, see Ioan's answers.

2. How do I hook a mailet into our application for things like email
notifications? I was hoping that the mailet could use our existing OSGi
services, but we may be able to get around it some other way -- like sockets or
maybe polling from the application instead of pushing from the mail server.
Yes, you need to develop mailet for your application to be notified.
For now, James can not be run in OSGI, so you mailet will need to be
injected with a way to communicate with your OSGI application. If there
is no way to do this in plain JAVA, you will need indeed to communicate
via socket I guess (mailet being the socket client).
It would be nice to run in Karaf, but I think a lot of my problems can be
solved just by getting a better understanding for how James works. And I'd
definitely be interested in helping, but I'm not sure how much time I can give.
What do you mostly need help with?
You're welcome. Questions are already contributions.

Subject: Re: OSGI app/mailet integration question
Hello Nate,
There has been some work done on James towards moving it to OSGi. I'm
working on making James run inside Karaf[1] but it's very early work,
not all components/dependencies are OSGi ready yet. It will take some
time.
I'm not sure I fully understand what you are trying to achieve. Are
you going for a full James-Karaf integration or run James as a
separate service and integrate over sockets? I think integrating over
sockets would be faster right now (I'm new to OSGi).
I could use a helping hand in moving James-Karaf forward and I think
it would benefit you too. I know James structure and could use help
with OSGi. Care to help?

Hey all,
I'm developing an OSGI-based application where we'd like to tie in mail
sending/receiving for our app users. Ultimately, I'd like to have a mailet
that has access to to the OSGI services on our Karaf instance, but I'm not sure
how to go about it. Also, we're going to need some way to keep users and
domains synchronized between our app and James. Should I try to extend and run
James as an OSGI service or is there a simpler way to tie things together?
Thanks!
