Migration to James 3
Hi!
I had James 2.3.2 working (with TLS, polling Gmail, etc...) until recently
when I took the decision to give James 3 a try...
James 3 is starting on my computer.
However I am wondering:
1) Where is the config.xml file, does it exist?
2) Where is the documentation, does it exist?
I hope somebody will help me asap, since I am stalled.
Thanks in advance,
JL

Hi Norman!
Thank you for your mail.
I noticed that it was split, but I am puzzled with the contents of the file
MIGRATE.txt...
I should be able to make it, though, with a little help.
For the moment, I can't connect with telnet ifm.ath.cx 4555 so Idid not go
very far.
Im gonna get some sleep. In the morning, I'll try harder.
Good night
JL

Morning,
the documentation is not complete yet. Eric is workin on it. Anyway
most of the documentation for 2.3.x still fit for 3.0. Most times just
the location of the configuration changed.
So here we go..
1) config.xml was splitted in many different configuration files (one
per component). So for example for smtpserver component you have now
smtpserver.xml, for fetchmail its fetchmail.xml etc. All the
configurations are located in /path/to/james/conf/.
2) See above..
Hope this helps.
Bye,
Norman

James 3 when it is stable?
Posted by Darko Hojnik <ho...@virtualizing.org>.
Hi
Hmm I take sometimes a look in in the List here. I would like try James
3 but is there a time line when it will be stable? And James has got
support for authentication against LDAP? Such like Apache Directory
Server?
best regards
Darko Hojnik

Nice to hear it! Hmm how will be Mails stored for IMAP? Plain on the
Filesystem or in a Database like PostgreSQL? IMAP works proper and SIEVE
is available? For LDAP is there a Schema available or which one you
would suggest me? Can I still embed James 3 in Tomcat or can I use jsvc
directly to start and run the Server? I will run it on FreeBSD 8.1
Currently I am using Postfix + DBmail with an LDAP Backend. DBmail IMAP
stores the Mails in a PostgreSQL Database. It works but I am not
everyday happy with them.
best regards

Hi,
James 3 can store mails in database (jpa), file (maildir) or jcr
(jackrabbit).
Imap works fine and you can configure jsieve mailet for sieve rules.
For LDAP, you can play in users-store.xml with some attributes
<repository name="LocalUsers"
class="org.apache.james.userrepository.ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository"
ldapHost="ldap://myldapserver:389"
principal="uid=ldapUser,ou=system" credentials="password"
userBase="ou=People,o=myorg.com,ou=system" userIdAttribute="uid"/>;
The way this config is used can be found in 3 classes under
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/james/server/trunk/user-function/src/main/java/org/apache/james/userrepository/
- ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository
- ReadOnlyLDAPUser
- ReadOnlyLDAPGroupRestriction
I am now reverse documenting the code, so if you or anyone else on the
list can bring that doc, this would be good for everyone :) Tks.
When you build (you can download the snapshot), there's a war that you
can simply deploy in a web container.
I never used jsvc, but I don't see why James would give problem with jsvc.
It is perfectly possible to use James 3 with postgresql. Simply adapt
the database.properties in ./conf dir and add the needed postgresql jdbc
jar driver in ./conf/lib.
Tks,
Eric

Yep, I hope to be able to start a VOTE on the first milestone within

Re: James 3 when it is stable?

Hi Darko,
Our timeline is "ASAP" (in any case still in 2010): we are in the very
last fixes and documentation wrap-up.
But yes, give it a try, cause we are missing in this last sprint users
feedbacks (We know how to use but we probably don't see anymore some
basic pitfalls and we count on you to show them).
James 3 supports LDAP user repository.
You can set-it-up in conf/user-store.xml: comment the JPAUsersRepository
block and uncomment/configure the ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository block.
Tks,
Eric
