Don't.  The ability for mailets to see Avalon will be curtailed, if not totally removed.  Services for mailets will be exposed via JNDI.  Avalon is a runtime environment for James, and is *NOT* for Mailets.

    Summary: Expose component manager in org.apache.james.James to support Avalon powered Mailets
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Minor

    Project: James
 Components: 
             James Core
   Versions:
             3.0

Environment: Any

Description:
We are creating mailets that relies on Avalon components to provide services.  There doesn't seem to be any existing interface for accomplishing this task.  Thus, we suggest to add the resolve (key) and release (obj) methods.  

If we can add the methods to the MailetContext interface, that would be even better of course. :)


Example (org.apache.james.James)

    /**
     * Looks up an Avalon component.
     */
    public Object resolve (String key) throws MessagingException 
    { 
        try
        {
            return compMgr.lookup (key); 
        }
        catch (ServiceException e) { throw new MessagingException ("Failed to lookup component. key='" + key + "'"); }
    }

    /**
     * Releases an Avalon component.
     */
    public void release (Object obj) 
    { 
        compMgr.release (obj); 
    }
