These > components allow to implement business rules based on some xml configuration > and some java component. > That's a great strength of James and a lot of people use it for this > capability. > Nevertheless, editing the pipeline and making tests is painful right now, you > are left finding solutions like "edit xml, launch server, send an email, read > logs". > To ease adoption, we would like to make that process easy and fun by : > * providing a web ui frontend to design the pipeline > * given a set of emails, make it possible to visualise each email flow into > the mailet pipeline to test it > * define a way to express the expected results to make sure people can save > their work into automated tests > To implement that, the student must know enough about web frontend dev to > implement a pipeline designer and debugger. > She or he will need to know some java to implement server side logic for : > * make james accept to reconfigure its pipeline at runtime to take > modifications into account > * design a protocol to stream debug data from a pipeline to the web ui and > implement it server-side in java > * implement a junit runner to be able to run some special mailet tests based > on the work done in the web designer. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-dev-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-dev-h...@james.apache.org
