RE: James as windows service
I am still having this problem. Can anyone elucidate on Roy's
resolution?
What is the file james.sar, how is it created?
Regards,
Rupert

Rupert,
I also had initial problems getting 2.1.3 to run as a service under
XP/Pro. It died immediately with a permission problem. I had to add
permission within the sar to solve the problem. After that it worked
perfectly.
Sorry for such a vague answer but I have deleted my local copy of the
original problem thread.
Roy

Hi,
I am trying to run James as a service but get this error when the
service is started up,
org.apache.avalon.framework.component.ComponentException: Cannot
find or init repository: access denied
(java.io.FilePermission
C:\Apache\James\james-2.1.3\apps\james\var\mail\spool read)
James runs ok from run.bat but not as service.
I installed the service using the supplied wrapper config.
The dir exists.
I am on Windows XP. Any help appreciated.
Rupert

James is an application that is executed within a container. Phoenix is
a container bundled with James that runs james. The james application
is packaged within the james.sar. To setup things you need to startup
phoneix once during which a number of files are created (such as config)
which you can subsequently edit. The next time Phoenix starts it should
read your config.xml file.
Cheers, Steve.

It is basically a zip-file (actually a jar-file) containing what is
necessary to run James as an Avalon application. You can open it and
create it with the jar utility in a Java SDK. If you rename it .zip, you
should even be able to open it with WinZip.
About your config.xml getting overwritten, I cannot help. For me James
has always worked perfectly as a service (only tried it on WindowsXP),
and as a Linux daemon.

What is the file james.sar, how is it created? It seems to be used when
James is run as a service. My config.xml is overwritten from it.
