[jira] Commented: (IMAP-178) make namespaces simple String

["Tim-Christian Mundt (JIRA)" <se...@james.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-178?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12885261#action_12885261 ] 

Tim-Christian Mundt commented on IMAP-178:
------------------------------------------

Ok, that was probably a little confusing. The interface I was referring to is "org.apache.james.imap.message.response.NamespaceResponse.Namespace". Of course the IMAP namespace extension (http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2342.html) needs a hierarchy delimiter, but is is not really part of the namespace as far as I understand.
On the other hand as part of NamespaceResponse it models the response - which has a prefix and a delimiter, I think we should leave it.

> A namespace is merely a string in IMAP - a name. However, in James it is represented by an interface containing a prefix an a delimiter. The prefix is the name and the delimiter is the one that as passed around in James everywhere, so it shouldn't be part of the namespace. For IMAP there is even no need to separate the namespace from the mailbox name. Still - for convenience - we should put a dot at the end of the namespace names.
