AbstractFileRepository numbering and James
We have a long outstanding issue with Cornerstone's AbstractFileRepository
that most of us bypass by means using database stores instead. We really
should work with you folks to resolve it. I just asked Iwasa Kazmi, who
posted a patch to james-dev for it today, to raise the issue here.
ref: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8839
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=james-dev@jakarta.apache
.org&msgNo=5835
As it turns out, Iwasa-san has done some previously:
ref:
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=avalon-dev@jakarta.apach
e.org&msgId=389748
Peter Donald replied that the repository numbering basically looked broken
to him, but there are no further replies in the archives, either in
avalon-dev@ where it started, or avalon-apps-dev@ where Peter cross-posted.

http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=avalon-dev@jakarta.apach
e.org&msgNo=12041
I'like to see this resolved, this time around.

Peter,
FYI, James doesn't require that mail be in memory. That was changed ages
ago.

Thats one solution I would be happy with.

Hmm ... it was probably in the java.apache.org days. Will see if I can find em
but they were massive changes, essentially;
* replace SMTP so it streams rather than using in-memory
* replace mailstore with a maildir-esque store (ignored locks).
* replace the mailet api with something that allowed you to process mail
without having all in memory
So it probably wont be able to be directly useful but may give you code-bits
to chew on,

It may be best to use one of the abovee anyways as the code may be supported
better ;)

Peter,
I had searched the archives, and only found that one message from you, where
you did suggest that the code pretty much sucked. However, looking for your
maildir patches, I just across one other:
ref:
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=avalon-dev@jakarta.apach
e.org&msgId=479494
So it appears that you wish to remove those components from Cornerstone, and
have James take them into our source base to either replace or repair. Is
that correct?
There are no other references to "maildir" anywhere in the archives, and
since one of the suggestions for the next major revision has been to switch
to a maildir solution, if you still have your patches, I'd like to see them.
So far I know of:
http://www.jcvs.org/jcvslet/JCVSlet/list/gjt/java/org/gjt/krb/mail
http://trustice.com/java/icemh/ (MH format, not maildir)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javamaildir
The latter is GPL, but perhaps the author would be willing to contribute
under an ASF license.

The resolution is removal of it from james as I have suggested many times in
the past. The whole design of the component sucks and can't really be made
to
work without changing the interface in one way or another.
About two and a half years ago I actually sent patches to move to xml user
files and maildir-esque mail repos. I am not sure if the archives go back
that far.
