I was reviewing the documentation of the Avalon/Phoenix project in Subversion here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/avalon/tags/Phoenix_4_0_3/avalon-phoenix/src/xdocs/?rev=189664 trying to wrap my head around how James works and was struck by the similarity in architectural concept as well as deployment practices that there are between Phoenix and JBOSS application server. To anyones knowledge, is JBOSS based on Phoenix? I admit i have not gone over to JBOSS' cvs to do a comparative analysis. But the practice of deploying .SAR files in directories and managing the server thru a JMX / HTTP adaptor seems identical. Also similar is the actual concept of an application container. If this were so it would have interesting implications as to how easy it would be to run James as an app inside JBOSS with little modifications. That would make it very competitive with JBOSS own mail services. In any case. The above info is very useful for getting a grasp on the actual underpinnings of James for people new to the project. I found the images to be very heplful too, maybe they could be recylced for the James wiki. Any comments on the coincidences would be great appreciated.
