I am so confused. I have been trying for 5 days to upgrade to James
3.9.0 and begin using AWS S3 blobstore. I've been using ChatGPT for
guidance. But I'm beginning to realize that ChatGPT is just making up
answers on the fly, giving me completely different and wrong answers
depending on the time of day.
- first answer from ChatGPT - I should install 3.9.0 spring with
JPA/mySQL and configure AWS S3 for blob storage (never could get james
to even recognize that I had blob storage configured)
- revised answer from ChatGPT - Oh, you can't use blobstore with
JPA/mySQL... you have to get Cassandra version to use blobstore.... took
over a day to make cassandra happy with it's Java 17 requirement while
keeping James 3.9.0 happy with its required Java 21. Now I can't find
the 'required' James 3.9.0 Spring-Cassandra version zipfile to download
- revised answer from ChatGPT - Oh, there is no Spring/Cassandra.... you
need to use 3.9.0 Guice/Cassandra, which is not recommended since Spring
is strategic even though with last release spring was going away.....

I'm sick of 'recommendation du-jour' from ChatGPT... I've been on James
/ James-spring for over 20 years with mySQL. I simply want to cut my
horrendous RDS/mySQL expenses for James mail data by using S3 for blob
storage. I'll use any configuration available that I can get to work as
long as I can have S3 blob storage.
Oh, yeah... and I cloned the 3.9.0 release source from GitHub and tried
to run maven. maven ran for about 20 minutes, then crashed and burned
on a bunch of errors. So I had to go with the pre-built 3.9.0 zip.
I have just one simple question.... What are my options for
configuration in order to use AWS S3 for blob storage.
Thx
Jerry
