Using DataSources within a mailet or matcher

[JJ <uk...@yahoo.com>]

I need to query a database during the processing of
mail. I've looked at the three configuration files in
the \SAR-INF directory but cannot easily ascertain
where I would specify a resource as I would in say
Tomcat.

Is it possible to set up a DataSource in James and get
a reference to it via JNDI in a mailet init() method?

Any help, as always, greatly appreciated.

Specifying DataSources... Kernel.xml??

[JJ <uk...@yahoo.com>]

If a DataSource is obtained by doing a look up on the
Avalon ComponentManager is a component element
specified for a DataSource in the kernel.xml file?
This is the only place I can find any declarative
configuration information that looks like it might
apply to the ComponentManager. If this is the place to
specify a data source, what's the format of the
<component/> element? There's no DTD for this
document.

Thanks in advance for any help...

I've had a look at Mailets that use DataSources,
JDBCAlias for example. Rather than using JNDI you're
using the Avalon ComponentManager to do a lookup. I'm
still not quite sure where it is that I specify the
DataSources name, driver, url etc. How / where do I
make a DataSource available to the Avalon
ComponentManager?

External and Internal mailing problems....

[Thomas Greenough <th...@autonomous.co.uk>]

This does seem like something which is so obvious...but:

I have installed James on my local network, no problems, mysql integrated
fine.  I can send mail to external addresses, and receive it - no problem.

HOWEVER, when another user (outwith my network), tries to use James to send
and receive he can receive from all, but only send mails to other 'users' -
he cannot send to external addresses.

Have I overlooked something very basic?

Not at this time.  See the other JDBC using mailets for examples.  This will
change when we incorporate JNDI.
