Thanks Ozgur. We are planning to have a it forwarded it to an ESB which has the queuing and other features in the next phase. If I implement the feature in the mailtet without a Queue, the messages will be available in the spool and will move to the inbox only when the webservice call is completed. Yes, Spool directory will get piled up depending on the performance of the Mailet and the number of spool threads configured. Do you see any other issue in this short term approach.
If you don't mind, can you please share how you configured James to handle the errors/timeout etc in the WebService call ? Like moving to the error directory and reprocessing later etc ? What are the James related design considerations and best practices that you followed ?
