Soren, > I like your proposal for fastfail, very much in line with my own thoughts. > I only have minor comments.
Yeah I think with Noel's comments and your's we seem to be approaching a consensus on this one. Are you going to ApacheConEU? We could arrange to brainstorm the implementation details. > As far as I can see we need another class to grasp state information in a > consistent way. I had imagined that we'd have a State object which would fulfil the role currently held by SMTPHandler.state, and extend it if necessary. > This is needed if the CommandHandlers action depends on > earlier commands having been executed. Agreed. > Maybe all we need are attributes being passed to each CommandHandler. Yeah, thats pretty much how the state HashMap does it at the moment. >Also in your example: <commandHandler class="Mail"> do you envision that > "Mail" is a user-defined class? Absoutely, yes. >I would certainly prefer this as I envision an implementation where I would >delegate the fastfail decissions to a policy-daemon that might be running > outside James (like reuse of existing postfix policy-daemons). I understand. > If "Mail" is not a user-defined class such an approach (while still doable) > leads to a pretty cumbersome configuration.
