Why are things such as SAR and BAR files? I know they are just Java Archive files, but it makes working with Avalon/Phoenix/James, etc. a pain with an IDE because they only (AFAIK with IDEA) only recognize .JAR files.
After figuring this out, I ended up just making copies of the BAR, SAR files and giving them JAR extensions (so the IDEA compiler wouldn't complain). Is there something I am missing here? Is remote debugging the only way to "cleanly" (and I use that term EXTREMELY loosely here) to compile and debug a James project. This means, not having to rename or copy existing files that are shipped with James?

Hi Tom, Following the exact instructions in this article may *not* work with the latest version of James, because the deployment structure is different. Phoenix no longer expands the entire SAR file at the time of first running (like it used to), Now, Phoenix reads jar files directly from within the SAR file, so you need to make sure that your jar file (with your mailet) is bundled in the James.sar file. >From my last message: >> As far as I'm aware, the only way to get your Mailet to run is to bundle it >> up into the James.sar file.

What do I exactly run when I want to debug James, > but with Phoenix? Is it a Phoenix project then? I've debugged Phoenix in IDEA using remote debugging. To make this work you need to do 2 things: 1) uncomment the lines in phoenix.sh (or phoenix.bat) that enable remote debugging: ie rem uncomment to get enable remote debugging rem set DEBUG=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=y 2) Set up your ide to remote debug, using the specified config. I'm sure you can find details on how to set up remote debugging with your IDE on google. 3) Oh, and you'll need to hope that Phoenix was compiled with debugging info included. I haven't tried the jars that are in the latest version of James. If they don't include debugging info, you'll need to build Phoenix yourself.... -- ciao, Daz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
