universal storage is a great idea --- bringing folks into closer contact with their data instead of hiding it in legacy hierarchical non-secure non-transactional non-indexed non-relational file systems, and jboss is probably the place to do it. i think you've identified something pretty useful.
surely this would be tied into mail at some point in time (since mail is data), but that's probably in the long-term future at least as far as our immediate concerns go. 'universal storage' even sounds like it belongs in its own project, and seems more like a cross-cutting concern rather than something one would manually put into mail, or nukes, or ejbs, or servlets, etc etc... (this is a complement) as far as our mundane lives as mail-server-implementers goes, i think folks may also be looking to just simplify their lives or i.t. infrastructures, and so why run sendmail + jboss when you can just be running jboss? plus we're going to get all the extensibility, interoperability, and other synergies from having everything run in j2ee/jmx/etc. so while i agree that we have alot of great opportunities to do something novel after M1, M2, etc, we also have a big payoff to merely get a production-quality pure-and-simple mail server running in jboss, as a first stage. after that, everything else is pure gold as the saying goes --- and that's pretty exciting. BTW, my bet is that sendmail is still around in 2050; i'm actually a bit fond of it too. mike <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3826052#3826052";>View the original post</a> <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3826052>Reply to the post</a> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
