Its always easier to start from where you know. isolating how messages get into the system (or out) from how the SMTP transport's mail state is managed would be a good thing. > > It would certainly be nice to have an email transport as an integral > part of axis, If you or anyone else can make suggestions on how to > convert the jboss bound parts I will gladly write some code. well, for a start we cant put GPL code into axis, so you'd need to release it on both. Otherwise, when you are ready, come onto axis-dev and start discussing it. I'd quite like SMTP support where the server could actually poll a POP3 mailbox for messages as well as hook into things like James or other mail systems. If we do it that way you dont need integral SMTP in your web service, you just need to configure it to fetch mail from somewhere using the mailapi.
