custom mailet installation
Hi
I wrote a simple Mailet but had difficulties installing it in James2.0a2.
I have 2 jars:
- custom-mailet.jar
- core.jar
I tried putting them in:
- dist\lib
- dist\apps\james\lib
but James could not find the mailet. Finally, I included the custom mailet
class in james.bar and it works. But it still cannot find core.jar, which
the custom mailet depends on.
Can someone point me to the right direction?
Keith

Hi Serge
I must be doing something right. Adding the jars in the dist\apps\james\lib
works.
I just forgot to include log4j.jar, which was required by core.jar.

Right now James doesn't support any special classloaders, and the avalon
structure makes classloading rather ornery. Unfortunately you have to
put ALL classes into the james.bar file. So, extract it out of the
core.jar and add that and the custom mailet and it should work. Yes,
this is a known limitation which greatly slows mailet development, and I
have a rough idea/half implementation to support a /classes and /lib
directory and be able to load mailets and supporting libraries from
there like a servlet container.

Sorry guys! I can just kick myself!!
I forgot to include another library that is required.
Adding all the jars in the dist\apps\james\lib works.

I still cannot get this to work with the CVS version.
I still have to include my TestMailet.class in the james.bar AND it still
cannot find the core.jar.
I am surprised that no one is having this problem. Is anyone creating
mailets using James?
