MailetConfig init parameters

Hi,

How can I define initialization parameters for a Mailet?

I would like to implement something like the following...

    public void init(MailetConfig config) throws MailetException {
        	String paramValue = config.getInitParameter("paramName");

	configSomethingElse(paramValue);
    }

but I am puzzled as to where and how to specify the parameter.

Thanks,
Carl

Carl,

You do it in the same spot in the config file where your class gets loaded.  EG:

                <!-- find this in the conf file -->
                <processor name="root">

				    <!-- Load your Mailet.  Note that "packagename.MyMailetClass"
				         has to be loadable within the classpath. -->
				    <mailet match="All" class="packagename.MyMailetClass">

				      <!-- you can pick settings up in your Mailet
				           via getInitParameter("myParam") -->
					<myParam>value of param</myParam>

				    </mailet>

                <!-- ... -->
                <processor name="root">

In the mailet config element in the james.xml:
<mailet match="<some matcher>" class="<your mailet>">
  <paramName>your param</paramName>
</mailet>

Where to put the above, depends on what processor you want to put the
mailet in.
