James and JavaServlet (Tomcat)

[Angel Angelov <an...@sayrix.com>]

Hi all,
I need to share some objects between James and my servlet (at the moment 
running on Tomcat).
Some suggestions how to do it?
I want to avoid (when possible)  slow communications as a TCP/IP or file 
sharing on the hard disk.

I was thinking to start James from my servlet, in this way they will run 
in the same jvm and can share objects in the memory.
Is there a way to do this? If yes - how?

Thanks,
Angel

Unless, you want to learn Avalon's lifecycle
management and launch Tomcat as an Avalon component
(which is probably the right way to go), you may do
the following.

Use org.apache.avalon.phoenix.launcher.Main in your
code to launch the Phoenix container.  I had to
actually copy and edit it, since I had to replace the
class loader the Phoenix container uses.  I can also
startup/shutdown Phoenix/James as many times as I
like.

IMHO, this is a hack and defeats the purpose of the
container.  Unfortunately, Avalon seems to be fairly
intrusive (interface-based dependency injection),
which I didn't care to further investigate/implement.

Hope this helps,
Gabor
