Management operation for addDomainMapping

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently catching up on all the changes happening in TRUNK over
the last years.
And I'm quite impressed with the result. This is a much better James
than ever before.

Using jconsole, I tried to add a domain mapping to
recipientrewritetable. Since the management component lacks a
dedicated domain mapping operation, I tried to use addMapping, which
requires NULL as a first parameter. This is very hard to do with
jconsole.

So I thought maybe I could just add the missing call
"add/removeDomainMapping" to management?

(Since this is a question about in-development, unreleased code, it is
more a question for server-...@james.apache.org. Nevertheless, a very
interesting question, thank you for posting it!)

The big advantage of the 3.0 code base is it's modularization. So there
is no easy 1:1 port from 3.0 to 2.3.x. However, it should be possible.
The phoenix container is not needed for running within Spring, but a lot
of libs are, which are spread around at different places. All are
referenced in the James/Spring module.
I'd recommend that you try to replace the 3.0er libs with their
equivalents from 2.3.2 and try to build and run with them. This can
become somewhat of a back and forth experiment, but it's basically what
I did when writing the James/Spring module.

HTH,

The Geronimo folks worked on integrating with James and there seem to

But none of them is simple, as of today.

Yes, but you have to build it from svn trunk. There is no released and

Sure, just keep posting. (Please consider joining list

You could create a singleton object within the Spring App Context
which is also available through a public static getter
"getInstance()". Then, at Mailet creation, you access all spring
context objects through this singleton. Make the singleton implement
ApplicationContextAware.

The best way depends on how you set up your James Server / Spring App.
Can you tell more about how you intend to let both run in the same VM?

I'd suggest looking at our Postage product which is build for testing
mail servers.
You have to build it from the sources, which you'd find here:

svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/postage/trunk james-postage

General information and documentation is here:

http://james.apache.org/postage/index.html
http://wiki.apache.org/james/JamesPostage

You are welcome to give feedback about how it works. It's been a while
since I built it.
I am trying to help out and fix where things are broken.

Re: Application architecture for a James based solution

[Bernd Fondermann]

Ajay Chitre wrote:

Hello,

We are developing a business application based on James for which we are
considering the following architectural ideas/rules:

1)  Do not put any business logic in the Mailets, for the same reason as why
we don't put any business logic in the Servlets.
2)  When a Mailet is called, it will package the information from the
incoming Mail object into a special "Business Object" (BO).  The Mailet may
also retrieve data from some other sources, such as LDAP, and put it in the
BO.
3)  Once the BO is built, the Mailet will pass it on to a Bean.  This bean
will act as a Session Facade that will control the overall flow of the use
case.  It will provide services such as "Transaction Management" etc.
4)  This Bean will be instantiated as a Singleton.
5)  We will use EasyMock to create mock BOs so that we can write stand-alone
unit tests that don't require us to start/stop James.


I am assuming this is a fairly standard architecutre.  Any pros/cons?  Any
other ideas?


Sounds pretty straightforward.

Additionally, you might want to execute your business logic in a 
different thread than the mail processing to avoid that the mailet 
processing is on hold as long as you BL is running - if the mailet does 
not depend on the result  the business logic is going to yield.

Your problem is pure operational. The server is unable to bind to the
SMTP port (port 25), probably because some other mail server is
already running.
Stop that one and then try again to start James, as you did.

Yes, I know. I can read ;-)
The point is: Having two build tools means, changing one build
probably breaks the other one. We did not yet agree to maintain both
(except for using maven for docs). The nightly build for example does
not check the maven build. But having a broken build is bad for those
innocent folks trying to use it.

But there is another aspect. AFAIK, maintaining a complete maven build
is not consensus in the team. This thing appears to be sneaking in. It
is better to try to have an open discussion about that instead of
silently acting upon it. That's also why I bring it up.

I think it is vital for Apache projects to not depend on remote
repositories to be available to make builds work and to have all
dependend libraries in the project's repository. Otherwise, some day,
old builds will no longer work because of missing dependencies.

Apart from that, I do not prefer ant over maven.

Or to put it the other way round: I am +1 to switch to maven if I can do

svn co $TRUNK

rm -rf $LOCAL_MAVEN_REPOSITORY
mvn
=> build succeeds

We are going long ways to maintain two build tools. I'd suggest we

Just to clarify: Apache's mission is to provide software for the
general public free of charge.
We won't have something like a fund for implementing features here.
And I doubt this would yield the best results. It would only push the
work yielding the most money.

Nevertheless, some Apache committers are paid for working on their
open source projects. At James, as far as I know, no committer is paid
for it.

In case you are using a database backend, the easiest way is to write
a program against the database, as Sebastion pointed out.

There are also many other ways, a few are described here.

The error message indicates that James (or another mail server) is
already running.
Terminate properly, then restart.

Changing ports is not necessarily a good solution since mail services
are expected to run on certain ports.

contribute in the right way. That means, getting to know how all the 
people who are contributing to Apache projects do it.
For example, see http://james.apache.org/contribute.html , but be sure 
to study some more reading stuff around James and Apache, which you'd 
easily find on our website.


After that, I am sure you are aware of our open source philosophy, that 
everything is about working together and writing source code.

That means sharing the actual code.

Please note also that the right mailing list for development is not this 
 list, since it is reserved for user questions. Please move the 
discussion over to the server-dev mailing list.

subject Installation Executable for James 2.3.1 ready.
mailed-by   gmail.com
I have the installation script for James 2.3.1 for windows OS is ready.

I would like to send it to someone for testing on a windows OS. I did
it for our own environment but it might be useful for future.
Please keep in mind that I am not very well versed with windows
development and my skills in this arena are limited.


What technology did you use to write the Windows Installer?


It is very simple and basic right now.


That's fine.


It does the following :
0) checks for JVM installation in registry if missing it gives an
error and quits.


We should also support environment variables like JAVA_HOME, which are 
often used to point to a proper java install.



0.1) requests to accept End User License Agreement (Apache)
1) prompt for user info (optional)
2) prompts for install directory
3) gives window with summary of installation
4) installs
5) gives a readme file
6) finish window.


That's fine, but we would need to see the source code. Could you please 
get familiar with our JIRA tool please and upload it there?

If you have any questions about it, just ask.


It has the other basic uninstall features (puts it in add/remove
programs) and allows for un-installation.

What I would like to incorporate in the next release:
1) check for third party installed pre requisite software (like java
and you gave me that already thanks!) but if third party pre requisite
not found install it for the user.
2) provide a check box (as in mysql install) that provides options
asking the user "Do you want to install this as a "Service"? if
checked (yes install as a service) then it runs an executable with an
option that installs the software as a service
3) allow a user to do "custom installs" pick features like "install
this feature, do not install that feature" etc.
4) allow a user to post icons on the desktop or the quick launch
folder that automatically runs run.bat
5) allow a user to change the default "user" and "password" for admin
features (and go into an xml file to put that user and password)
6) allow a user to configure other options in an xml file like
"hostname" or some other value of an xml field that usually requires
mucking with an xml file
7) provide a front end for editing the xml file.
8) provide a front end (windows based) for administering the james mail server.


Shiraz

p.s. I would like to start contributing to the actual james server
please and see if we can have a plan to revamp this to the latest JDK
1.5 or later (if its not too ambitious). To begin I would like to
create useful docs on the server (for newbies like me).


ok, fine. there is a lot of work to do there. ;-)

AFAIK, they are shutting down their service. With the latest config
change they are trying to raise awareness for this fact. With some
effect, admittedly.

ordb.org was already taken out of our configuration with release 2.3.1.
So this only hits usrs still running on 2.3.0 (or earlier) configurations.

Re: All messages going to SPAM processor

[Bernd Fondermann]

According to this credible report

http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=4198&rss

which says

"Although ORDB.org was shut down on December 18, 2006, yesterday they
changed their behaviour, and instead of timing out, they are blocking
all IP addresses, that is, every e-mail server queried is being
reported as an open relay."

I think it is best to recommend that all James users should change
their configuration and remove ORDB.org immediately.

I will check the configuration source files in svn and open a JIRA to
remove ORDB.org from them if they are still contained.

Thanks,

  Bernd

Hi there,

 


I recently installed and configured James and Postage on two separate
windows servers in a test environment. 


I have successfully managed to send a test message from Postage, relaying
via the James server to a third server (Exchange) and I receive the message
without a problem.

I have configured the scenario in the postage.xml file with user internal
and external value of "1" and set the send count-per-min value to "1" also.

I am expecting in this scenario to receive only one email at the destination
address, however for some reason I receive two emails, one 6K and the other
8K.

When changing the send count-per-min value to a higher value, I always
receive at least one or two more emails at the destination address than I
set here.

Any ideas?


This is a known problem. At least to me. I thought it was publicly 
documented in our JIRA issue tracker, but it isn't yet. Maybe you would 
like to create one?


I never figured what was wrong but I suspect this is some race condition 
or mis-counting.


I will have a Postage dev session later this year where I will look into 
this.


Thanks for using Postage. :-)

BTW, the server-user@james.apache.org mailing list is the right place 
for questions like this. Please move completely over to this list when 
you'd reply and drop [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As far as I understand Avalon's overengineered component model, the
missing link is that you'd have to make the component known to the
_receiving_ component, too. Only then will it appear in the specific
serviceManager map. You can do this by adding a  to
JamesMailetLoader.xinfo.

There are different approaches one could think of.

1. The canonical approach would be to follow the proven mailet
injection path. That would require that you'd add a service
"MyApplicationContextProvider" in assembly.xml which loads your
ApplicationContext. Every mailet which needs access to it and which is
subclassing GenericMailet can now call

ServiceManager serviceManager = (ServiceManager)
getMailetContext().getAttribute(Constants.AVALON_COMPONENT_MANAGER);
MyApplicationContextProvider datasources =
(MyApplicationContextProvider)
serviceManager.lookup(MyApplicationContextProvider.ROLE);

This should work fine for any James release.

2. If you are running the spring-deployment you could wrap
JamesMailetLoader with you own implementation. This implementation
would behave just like JamesMailetLoader itself with the exception
that everytime it loads a Mailet which is implementing
BeanFactoryAware (or ApplicationContextAware) it injects the context
into the Mailet.

3. You could even go further and not actually class-load the bean in
the Loader but take the Mailet instance from an ApplicationContext
itself - where it has already been properly wired with all the stuff
it needs. (BTW, this solution would free the Mailet API from "the
service lookup dilemma" discussed some time ago.)

Which solution is the best in your case depends on your specific requirements.

We have a working spring-based deployment under development in the
main development branch. there is a nightly build artefact available
which is build based on this work. please note, these are not
officially released products, only intended for evaluation and testing
purposes.

That said, I am personally quite positive we will see a release of the
spring-deployment alongside our next 'classical' phoenix-based
deployment. But this is not yet decided.

Another hint: Please double check that your classpath is cleared from
left-over jars of any kind.
Maybe try to re-deploy in a clean environment.

Errors like this often occur on binding errors (wrong/outdated jar on
the classpath).

What about IPv6 vs. IPv4 usage?

As you nailed it down to that particular platform and setup, have you
already check for JVM-specific bugreports at sun?

Re: JAMES Mail Server: Compare mail server customizability

Hi fr33m2n,

[Everyone else, please note: fr33m2n is currently working on a GHOP 
task. see 
http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-asf/issues/detail?id=18

]

There are many areas to improve the result you are presenting here.

Style & Format - please use some other format to present your results, 
HTML, a wiki page, google doc etc. Plain mail is not very good for 
presenting tabled results.


Context - what did you do? what are talking about?  _I_ tend to know 
what you are trying to tell, but someone else probably doesn't.


Verbosity - you are very brief in your "text". please provide more 
context and explain what you did. remember: the results of your work 
should serve as information for other people.


Original work - what results did you come up with by yourself? We had a 
brief conversation on the list, but I'd like to see more original work 
from you.


The task - the task was to compare mail server customization.
While concrete and common use cases are a start, not everyone is trying 
to do exactly the same thing. keep in mind, people have many use cases 
for customization. we cannot cover every single one of them. but they 
serve as means to prove mail servers features and capabilities. we want 
to highlight theses capabilities by applying the use cases. we do not 
want to look at the use cases for the use cases sake. we know already 
they are solvable - we are interested in what mail servers provide us to 
make it easy to solve them.


Effort - You are on the right track. Just put a bit more effort into 
communicating your results (I know it can be hard in a foreign language, 
and we will not judge that).

That would be static forwarding. I meant, dynamically, depending on
who is available at the moment the mail is processed.

There you are. There are typical solutions to use cases like this. The
GHOP task would be to compare the general approach mail servers have
towards this kinds of customization. This can be a generic
configuration mechanism (per XML for example), an API (like Mailet),
using standards scripting languages like Sieve, or something else.

Well, if you have to rework the source code of the server it is hard.
If it requires a few lines of configuration, it is easy.

I admit, the DNS configuration is not the customization I was thinking of.
I was thinking of for example
1. adding a footer to every mail going through a processor, for
example before sending it out
2. re-addressing mail sent to a for example [EMAIL PROTECTED] to some
available support team member

this can be done by using pre-written and self-written mailets.
The question is now, do other mail servers deliver the same features,
and how easy is it to get it running.
You wouldn't neccessarily have to do it yourself, it would suffice to
check the documentation of other servers or ask on their lists.

Hi Raphael,

problems can be expected when setting up a mail server for the first time.
What cannot be expected is that nobody jumps in to help you on this list ;-)
Apologies for that. Give us a second chance, please!

How far did you get? Did you manage to build from source?
What did you do in detail?

Thanks,

HI fr33m2n,

ok, very good question. :-)

Mail servers receive emails. Without any customization, the server
drops them into the inbox of the receiving user. At any point, the
user can view them, delete them, whatever. That's default behavior.

Customization is the process of changing the server's configuration
and let it do something which is somehow special to your needs.

This is done by changing the mail processing pipeline. Either by doing
something with the mail itself, or by altering the routing of the
message.

1. Can you make up two simple use cases now, one where the email is
changed on its way to the receiver, one where the routing of the mail
is changed?
2. Try to identify, where in James' configuration you can do such
customizations (hint: Mailet API).

Please come back to the list with any questions or results.

Yeah, we simply want to present users some steps to check before they
have to come to the list.
A FAQ is not a manual. It's answers should not get too long. Instead,
they should refer to documentation where the problem is dealt with
separately.
So you'd have to find the fine line here between covering the frequent
problem and answering briefly.
The complex documentation is not covered by your GHOP task. (Although
nobody stops you from doing it, if you'd want to. ;-))

Hi all!

I'm participating of the Google Highly Open Participation Contest 
(http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/), and I've assigned to myself 
the task of compiling a FAQ list on JAMES 
(http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-asf/issues/detail?id=16).

As instructed, I went through the mailing list, and identified some questions 
which are frequently asked. The questions I came up with are:

How to use a database for User Authentication?
How to use a database for Storing Mail?
How to configure a mailing list?
How to prevent spam?
How do I upgrade James?


Very good! :-)


To me, these seem to be the most repeatedly asked questions. I'd like to know 
if you guys on the list think there are any more questions which regularly 
appear on the mailing list, that I failed to mention?


As I remember it, many questions deal with how to get the server to 
receive and send out (relay) email correctly. Often those problems have 
to do with misconfigured firewalls - the particular James server in 
question is not reachable from some destination and cannot connect to 
another server or cannot be connected. We then ask users to "telnet" to 
  the server or do other routine diagnosis. Maybe you have the time to 
explore this field some more...?

Unfortunately not. But if you (or someone else) want to get your feet
wet and implement something like this, that would be incredibly great.
It is on my secret wishlist for a long time!
I would also support you in getting this into James, though I can't
help implementing the core algorithm.
The approach is described here
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FogBugzII.html and there is a
paper linked inside this text with more.

The Spring Deployment module is experimental and not released yet.

Re: James Mailet Access to External Servers!

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi Gary,

To narrow down your problem, did you try to get a plain connection from 
the mail server to the web server for example by issuing on the mail 
server's command line

  wget http://:80/
or
  telnet  80
?

Gary Jarrel wrote:

Hi All!

A quick questions - I've got a mailet which uses a closed source API
to connect to a remote server to notify users of mail coming in. The
connection is a simple http connection from the James server (inside
the mailet) to a remote server on port 80.

All seems to function well in the test cases, and when I deploy the
web component of the application under tomcat - i.e. the code is able
to establish the connection and communicate with the remote server.
However when I deploy the james mailet with all the required jars, etc
- it always crashes out reporting that a connection to a remote server
can not be established.

Is there perhaps a security setting of some sort which stops the
mailets from accessing the outside word or any other suggestions?

Thank you!

Not that I know of.

But you could switch to Remote Debugging the server and benefit from 
hot-code-replacement as provided by the Java IDE of your choice.


You'd still have to restart the server at times, but for most code 
changes, this should work out quite well.

You should be able to check which process is using the blocked port by invoking

Restarting James [Re: Exception while interacting with MBean]

Re: Embedding James

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi Michael,

Experimental code for running James within a Spring Framework context
is available at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/sandbox/spring-integration
So theoretically it should be possible to embed James into any
Spring-aware application including web apps.
But we don't distribute this as a separate release yet. You'd have to
build from code.

But you are very welcome to give it a try. If you run into problems,
please join us on the dev list.
I am very eager to hear about your experiences! :-)

This is the relevant part of the error message:

Caused by: org.apache.avalon.phoenix.containerkit.lifecycle.LifecycleException:
Component named "smtpserver" failed to pass through the Starting

The port you chose for SMTP is already blocked by another application
on that machine.
Please stop that specific application (could also be a Windows

Hi Oliver,
in addition to the hint Norman gave you, you can find the class you
mentioned in svn.
please use
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/postage/trunk
to get the sources you are looking for.

Postage has not yet been released, so you have to build it all by
yourself, but we would be happy to help you out over on the server-dev

Re: Cannot get James 2.3 Final to work with MX4J on Java 5

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi,

I looked into it but to no avail. :-(
If you have something to share to workaround or fix this problem this
is highly appreciated.

For the moment I would also like to stick to my workarounds hints
which in your case would require you to run JDK 1.4 (for James) in
parallel to JDK 5 (for anything else).

Yep, because I want to enable the MX4J HTTP adapter without changing

With the default configuration, James starts up just fine (though of
course I don't get JMX).
Enabling James' built-in MBeanServer (as described by the Wiki page)
with RMI only, gives me this exception:

This is on a freshly downloaded binary James 2.3.0 release with only
the kernel.xml edited as directed in the mentioned Wiki page ("Use
James' built-in MBean server").

The interesting thing is that I can see mx4j-tools.jar in both lib and
bin/lib so it ought to be in the classpath, right ? And both jars are
ok (contain the class mentioned in the exception) and are readable and
have the correct permissions and all.

Well, I don't really care about MX4J, but I do want to be able to see
the JMX info via HTTP which I think is something that the Java 5
default JMX server cannot do unless the MX4J http adaptor is
registered with it in code, right ?

Thomas,

You want to get MX4J running under J1.5 and explicitly don't want the
native JVM MBeanServer to be started, right?

If yes, have you tried doing what is suggested under "Use James'
built-in MBean server" on the wiki page you mentioned, without adding
any other properties (especially without
javax.management.builder.initial and com.sun.management.jmxremote.*)?
This should work fine.

If no, and you are ready to go without using MX4J, please follow
suggestions from "Use existing MBeans server".

In case I got your intentions wrong, please follow up with more info
about what you want to achieve.

Hi folks,

Apparently, the classloader that MX4J uses (which is one that Phoenix
provides ?) cannot find mx4j-tools.jar. So I decided to put the MX4J
also in ext as well as into the lib folder in the james.sar, but to no
avail. Adding MX4J to the system classpath didn't help either.

I also downloaded MX4J 3.0.1 and copied its jars (except examples)
into both lib and bin/lib,

Re: First Time Problem

[Bernd Fondermann]

as you are running on a unix, I suggest you detect with "netstat"
command the process attached to the port in question (25, that is per
default). I always use "netstat -pant" for that, "man netstat" gives
you an overview what is possible.

Re: First Time Problem

the interesting part is:

"Component named "pop3server" failed to pass through the Starting stage.
(Reason: java.net.BindException: Permission denied)."

Maybe you have another service using that port. Stop it and restart james.


For me, "Permission denied" does indicate that this is a problem of
not running James with root privileges which are needed everytime a
process tries to attach to "privileged" ports (e.g. port number <
1024).

The problem Stefano described would result in "BindException: Port
already in use"

Re: NullPointerException when try to start James from RUN or Avalon Phoenix Launcher Main class

[Bernd Fondermann]

On 11/2/06, Miroslav Nachev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi,


My idea to run from a simple class is to be able to debug the code from
IDEs like NetBeans and/or JBuilder.


I recommend using remote debugging, having two separate JVM: one for
James, one for IDE.

This is done by enabling debugging in the startup scripts by
commenting in one line in phoenix.sh for Unix and run.bat for Windows
- just look for the related comments.

You then have to prepare your IDE to connect to the debuggee.
Please refer to the Java reference and the documentation of your IDE
how to establish remote debugging.

For how to properly prepare James for remote debugging, please come
back to the list if you encounter problems.

Re: James 3.0-dev

[Bernd Fondermann]

Stable branch can be found under
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/branches/v2.3
A production-ready release 2.3.0 will be announced anytime soon.
As far as I know it is nearly identical with 2.3.0rc5.

Trunk is currently under development. 3.0-dev is only a somewhat
arbitrary label. We will decide on the version number later.

Didn't try this out, but it shout certainly work (since it is included in 
RUN_CMD).

But what I meant where special vars like "MIN_MEMORY" and "MAX_MEMORY" for the 
people
who do not know about "-Xms" and "-Xmx".


Yes, I got that. ;-)

PHOENIX_JVM_OPTS="-Xms64m -Xmx512m "

should do the same job as

JVM_OPTS= $JVM_OPTS "-Xms64m -Xmx512m "

Hi,

Right at the top of phoenix.sh you find a doc section "Environment
Variable Prequisites" with all supported variables.
It suggests to use PHOENIX_JVM_OPTS.

Did you try if that works instead of altering JVM_OPTS?

Hello all,

yesterday my James had to transport an eMail with an 18MB attachment. This 
endet up
with an "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space".

The java-geeks here certainly know what to do, but there may be James-User 
which are
less familiar with the java commandline-options.

The solution is to precede the JVM_OPTS in "phoenix.sh" with "-Xms64m -Xmx512m 
".

Just a thought:
The first time I searched the place to put those options in "phoenix.sh" I had 
to
study the half file where they are set. What about some config-vars at the 
beginning
of the file?

Best regards

We run James in 4 different environments including production.
Management & maintenance of James has always been a grey area because it

In fact it is the only application which we run outside of Weblogic 8.1.

I would be very interested in helping out in this regard.


Great!
Management & maintenance does not require neccessarily to have a J2EE
environment.
Currently, in trunk, there are two parts in James concerned with m&m:
RemoteManager (telnet-based) and the MBeans (JMX). I would recommend
extending these in the first place.

We are also working on having dedicated components for m&m related
stuff, with RemoteManager & MBeans only being the frontends to this.

For starters, check out trunk and look at how current m&m stuff works.
Then you could try to tackle for example JIRA JAMES-645 and attach
code to it.

More detailed discussion should take place on server-dev for everyone
interested.

The original post's goal was to run James within a J2EE server. I

But nevertheless, I think it would be a benefitial long time goal.
Even though this is probably not the use case for the majority of
James users.
And JCA would be the right way to do this.


I have contributed to open source projects before, but usually just to
contribute bug fixes or to file bug reports.  I am currently working on
collaboration software at http://cardmeeting.com that I hope to
integrate James with at some point as the project matures and
notifications are needed.  If I didn't have CardMeeting, I'd probably
take you up on your suggestion - I feel like James is one of the most
important Apache top level projects and there's not enough visibility on
it yet.  A lot of glory yet to be had.  :)

Re: hint error message when run ./run.sh in debian linux

[Bernd Fondermann]

hi,

another application already blocks the port you want make your POP3
server listen on.
you can check which process this is using something like
  netstat -pant
"man netstat" provides online help.
you would have to stop this process (which can also be another James
instance) and restart James.

Re: My vote for deployment of James as a Web Application

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi David,

thanks for the feature request. The natural way to deploy a system
like James within a J2EE container would be by wrapping James into a
JCA module.
As far as Geronimo is involved, James components could also be wrapped
into GBeans.

AFAIK, currently nobody is working on either of this.

So in the near future, I don't see how your request could be
fullfilled, except...
...Maybe you would like to participate and contribute to this
worthwhile effort? :-)
I would try to help wherever I can...

 Bernd

On 10/7/06, David Woldrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hello all,

I'm running a website on a single server configuration.  My goal is to
get all of our components running in one VM.  Part of this goal is to
maximize the limited RAM we have by allocating one giganzo JVM heap,
reduce Java process contention for OS scheduling, and limit the need for
remote EJB calling when I want to invoke components, say, from a mailet
into some deployed EJB's I've got.  If everything is deployed on one VM,
theoretically, I should be able to do local EJB calls.

My J2EE server is Geronimo 1.1, I'm launching hypersonic DB from within
Geronimo, and now I'd like to be able to deploy James as an EAR that can
gracefully startup and shutdown with Geronimo - a servlet could manage
the James lifecycle via the init() and destroy() methods.  (If James
doesn't support shutdown without JVM shutdown, then that's a feature
that I would like to see added to James as well.)  I envision the
startup/shutdown order within Geronimo would be:

   1. Hypersonic DB
   2. My Shared Components (custom EJB's, J2C connectors)
   3. James + Mailets (using Hypersonic DB)
   4. My Application

In the future, I imagine the Apache DNS and LDAP Directory server could
also be deployed in Geronimo as well once I feel like it's ready for
primetime, probably started between 1 and 2.

Since there seems to be a lot of active development in both Geronimo and
James right now, I thought now would be a good time to throw in my $0.02
and make the request.  For the time being, I will deploy James in a
separate VM, (but with far fewer system resources than it would get if I
could launch it within Geronimo.)

Cheers,
Dave Woldrich

Re: JMX configuration

OK, I am able to reproduce both errors.

You have two choices.

Either, go with a 1.4 JDK and keep the original configuration you
posted. ("Use James' built-in MBean server" approach)
Or, stick with 1.5 JDK, use the HostedSystemManager and additionally
(without it you get the second error you posted) change phoenix.sh
according to the wiki. ("Use existing MBeans server" approach)

If I got your answer right, the preferred way to go is JMX and the
entry in the Wiki is just a plan, ie. there is no active work on a web
admin tool for JAMES going on or planned ?


Yes. The JMX infrastructure within the server is well established and
can be extended quite easily.
A web console would raise questions like:
Do we embed a webserver or provide a webservice on server side?
How do we handle security/login?
How do pages get build? (UI, Framework, WebDesign)?

There is no work on a web based console that I am aware of.

Rather than a web _admin_ console, I would like to have a pure-java
ASF-licensed web-based _mail_ application. I never found a good one.
(But maybe I missed one.)

Re: Admin console

[Bernd Fondermann]

Lately, we improved management functionality in the "RemoteManager" (a
telnet console) and in its JMX counterpart (can be accessed using JMX
consoles like MC4J). This is available in the nightly builds.

I'd recommend using JMX ("Java Management Extensions") over telnet or
a web app as it is more lightweight to implement and setup, yet
offering the same functionality. JMX is the "standard Java way" to
provide server management.

for more information, see http://wiki.apache.org/james/ConfigureJmx

If there is any missing management functionality (and I _bet_ there is
:-)) I'd be happy if users post their feature requests here on the
list.

I was going to ask in general if there are other projects in the

anyone is working on web admin tools for James...

Could this be a planned feature for James 2.4 or 3.0 ?

Nightly builds for the current trunk are available here if you want to
test it:

Re: JAMES Administration

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi,

Mark, thanks for bringing this topic on the table.

In the Java world, JMX (Java Management Extensions) is the weapon of
choice for the use cases you are describing. (see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jmx/index.html)

However, in James 2.2.0 and the upcoming 2.3 release, the support for
JMX within James is limited.

But, work has started to put more management operations in. This can
currently be found in source code only (in the "trunk"). It covers
more or less all operations already available in the telnet console
(RemoteManager).
This functionality will become available in the next major release, I guess.

So this is not an answer to your question, but I am interested in
hearing from you and others what management operations are currently
missing to do the administrative work, so we can steadily improve
James' JMX interface.

When talking about manipulating the config file(s). There are many,
many configuration items within James and the list is growing for the
upcoming 2.3.
It think it would be cool to have a wizzard-like installer application
which is able to present and alter the config file content in a
user-friendly way, separating basic from advanced options, presenting
help texts, guiding the user through the whole setup process.
Maybe someone wants to start some effort in this direction?

 Bernd

On 7/25/06, Mark Brennand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I am interested in what Administration solutions other JAMES users are

Obviously the DB backend lends itself to direct manipulation but I am not
ready to switch all storage mail over to DB just yet. I am, however, ready
to generate a system that can directly manipulate config and environment
vars, offer reporting and analysis via log parsing etc

It would be great to hear what everyone else is doing (or even thinking of
doing).

Re: Postage "failed to setup" error

[Bernd Fondermann]

Hi Vincenzo,

Thanks for trying Postage!

My first guess would be the changes introduced in revision 419513.

Unfortunatly, I am not using the latest from James 2.3 branch. But this 
reminds me to update my local env as soon as possible to keep Postage 
integration code up-to-date with James.


Tomorrow I can revisit this issue. Maybe you could try to workaround 
this. Either by using an older James 2.3 or by improving 
SMTPMailSink/SimpleSMTPServerConfiguration (and provide a patch :-), 
that would be cool).


(Please note that currently you could commit changes to Postage SVN 
directly by yourself, but SVN notifications are not yet activated, 
AFAIK, so that is stopping me from committing there.)

Re: Integrate James Wih Web Application

Hi Kumarasamy,

J2EE Servers like Weblogic are required to support sending out email
through JavaMail (J2EE 1.4 Spec, 2.6.9).

James POP3 account from within your web application.

Hope that helps,

This is what i ahev changed in my config file. I think i have to configure

My another doubt is when i'm running my webapplication i have to run JAMES as a

What I really know is that without that patch one of my production

This means that my outgoing was growing to much and to increase the

Re: James SIG language

[Bernd Fondermann]

"interface" = "network interface" = "network device"

in very simplified terms network interfaces are "logical devices" like 
loopback/localhost (127.0.0.1), 1st network card (e.g. 196.254.0.1)..nth 
network card (e.g. 196.254.0.N), dsl devices and so on. more or less 
everything having an IP address on the local machine. sometimes there is 
a real hardware device related to it.


if you want to specify a socket to "bind to all interfaces", you attach 
it to IP 0.0.0.0, which means: every TCP/IP device around.


(only to clarify, not a scientific answer)

Re: Creating/Adding a user to James

[Bernd Fondermann]

Telnet is the easiest way that I know of.
You could write a short program which instruments telnet to add users. 
You could even put a GUI on top of that.


There is another way using JMX.
To use it, you'd have to enable JMX in "conf/kernel.xml", start James 
and connect to it using a JMX console which is able to talk to MX4J 1.x. 
(This is the very short version of an HOW-TO.)

That's the kind of trouble I appreciate ;-)

I get the very same error on the Linux command line.

Seems to be a problem with excalibur-cli-1.0.jar.
I'll have a look if I can find the source code somewhere.

Would you like to file a JIRA bug report containing the stack trace
you provided?

Anyone else reproducing this?

Re: Suitable Mail Client for James

every client supporting POP3 + SMTP should work like a breeze.

Re: encoding and ü and ß!

[Bernd Fondermann]

On transport, non-ASCII chars are encoded as shown in the example you provided.
Your mail client decodes them back into a user readable format, i. e.
the original non-ASCII chars.
This is a rather general fact and completely normal.

That said, could you please provide more specific information about
your setup and where James is involved in there?

Another question: When you read this very email, do you see correctly
the umlaute you sent out? => Gl=FCckwunsch! .. it should be
Glückwunsch.
If not, it could be an issue with your email client's configuration.

Re: Bounce mailet bug?

[Bernd Fondermann]

come on, don't give up so fast.

go back to the JIRA page, hit "log in" and you can read:
>>
Welcome to Apache's JIRA issue tracker!

Anyone is free to find issues. You must register and login if you want
to create, comment, vote, or watch issues.

so take a few seconds, register and participate.
James needs your user feedback, input and contribution.

please take into account the countless time which went into building
it, all being there at no additional cost than that.

you could even directly append the fix, which would be great.

thanks,

Bernd
