Also a plus is the fact that its also an Apache project. I think
embedding it would be great as it totally removes the need for the
user
to do anything. I currently have a James configured so that you can
start tomcat and deploy the web app with the same run script used to
start James. So no work whatsoever for the user. The script output
would tell the user 'go to this url to access the management console:
xxxx'.
I know in past there was an Avalon<->Jetty adapter.
I don't know how easy would be to create an adapter to run Tomcat
inside
Avalon but it would not be so difficult to update the old
avalon<->jetty
adapter.
Jetty is a slim servlet container. Probably the licensing doesn't
allow to
redistribute it with james.
Hi everybody,
I'm starting to use James as the mail component for OpenMocha [1] (a
web app server framework for javascript developers) and will need to
manage James from Helma [2] applications. So, this project would come
at the right time for me. Wherever there are synergies I'll be glad to
contribute what I can. Helma offers a Rhino based scripting environment
and embeds the Jetty web server.
Helma cleanly separates application logic from design using "skins".
Providing an easy way to customize the appearance beyond CSS could also
be a good idea for James Web Admin. I would certainly encourage you to
take a look at Helma. Should you decide to build James Web Admin using
Helma, I would be happy to help with the Helma side of things.

Regarding the communication interface between James and Web Admin, I
suggest to also think about the possibility of using XML-RPC (RMI and
SOAP have been mentioned). XML-RPC offers the openness of SOAP and is
even easier to work with. BTW: Apache XML-RPC is based on an early
version of Helma.

Anyway, I'll be following this thread with great interest. I will
implement some kind of Helma based way of managing James and will
hopefully be able to contribute to the James Web Admin project in some
way.
