i believe so --- and sounds like a good idea too. i think its usual for folks to begin by designing their databases or set of entity ejb's all the way to third normal form and then back off a little where it makes sense, for performance or other reasons. 'backoff' in our case would be keeping the bit-perfect original message data as you suggested.
its also seems useful to keep the raw messages for 'archival' reasons, in case one absolutely needs a bit-perfect copy of the original email. for instance, there will undoubtedly be email instances that don't even conform to rfc 822 (extreme spam) and thus won't properly fit into a neat little entity bean structure. but we'll still probably want to handle them somehow in the jboss mail server. mike <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3826054#3826054">View the original post</a> <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3826054>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.
