Steps to get IMAP starting
Hello!
Other mails already indicated that there are some problems when doing
a clean build of James with IMAP from CVS.
This description of my solutions to some of the issues I've found so far
may save some time to others.
See below for diffs of the files I've changed. Someone more involved
should review them before committing. Some of my changes (6,7) may have
consequences which I didn't foresee.
Peter
1) Minor build problem under UNIX:
| ~/jakarta-james/proposals/imap/dist/james-2.1a1-cvs$ bin/run.sh
| bin/run.sh: ~/jakarta-james/proposals/imap/dist/james-2.1a1-cvs/bin/phoenix.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
Cause:
build.xml doesn't make phoenix.sh executable
2) james-server.xml is not a valid XML file:
| Error building configuration from file:~/jakarta-james/proposals/imap/dist/james-2.1a1-cvs/apps/james/SAR-INF/environment.xml.
| Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "categories" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</categories>".
Cause:
<category name="imapserver" log-level="DEBUG"/>
<log-target name="imapserver-target"/>
</category>
This replacement eliminates two errors:
<category name="imapserver" log-level="DEBUG">
<log-target id-ref="imapserver-target"/>
</category>
3) Another build problem:
The (newer) James.java from main doesn't get replaced by the (older) one
from the IMAP proposal.
I use <exclude> elements in build.xml.
4)james-assembly.xml (the IMAP proposal one) isn't up to date:
| Unknown dependency named "nntpauth" with role "org.apache.james.nntpserver.AuthService" declared for Block nntpserver.
I replaced
<provide name="nntpauth" role="org.apache.james.nntpserver.AuthService"/>
by
<provide name="users-store" role="org.apache.james.services.UsersStore"/>
in james-assembly.xml and deleted the "NNTP Authentication Service" block.
The <nntpauth> element got removed from james-config.xml.
5) Now the server starts up and it's possible to log in, but INBOX doesn't
exist and can't be created:
| $ telnet localhost 143
| Trying 127.0.0.1...
| Connected to localhost.
| Escape character is '^]'.
| * OK IMAP4rev1 Server peter ready
| 1 LOGIN peter peter
| 1 OK LOGIN completed
| 2 SELECT "INBOX"
| 2 NO SELECT Unknown mailbox
| 3 CREATE "INBOX"
| * BYE Error processing command.
| Connection closed by foreign host.
I added the following to james-config.xml:
<storage>IMAP</storage>
6) At startup there were these warnings:
| The Block named "imapsystem" (implementation class "org.apache.james.imapserver.IMAPSystem"), implements a service "org.apache.james.imapserver.IMAPSystem" which extends a Lifecycle interface "org.apache.avalon.framework.context.Contextualizable". This violates the expected usage patterns.
| The Block named "imapsystem" (implementation class "org.apache.james.imapserver.IMAPSystem"), implements a service "org.apache.james.imapserver.IMAPSystem" which extends a Lifecycle interface "org.apache.avalon.framework.component.Composable". This violates the expected usage patterns.
| The Block named "imapsystem" (implementation class "org.apache.james.imapserver.IMAPSystem"), implements a service "org.apache.james.imapserver.IMAPSystem" which extends a Lifecycle interface "org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.Configurable". This violates the expected usage patterns.
| The Block named "imapsystem" (implementation class "org.apache.james.imapserver.SimpleSystem"), implements Block interface. The Block interface has been deprecated and should no longer be used.
| The Block named "imaphost" (implementation class "org.apache.james.imapserver.JamesHost"), implements Block interface. The Block interface has been deprecated and should no longer be used.
They could be eliminated by small changes in IMAPSystem.java,
SimpleSystem.java and JamesHost.java.
7) Solution of problem 5) creates a new one.
Impossible to add any new users:
xterm A: James starts up
| Started IMAP Server plain:143
| POP3 Server Started plain:110
| SMTP Server Started plain:25
| java.lang.NullPointerException
| at org.apache.james.nntpserver.repository.NNTPSpooler$SpoolerRunnable.run(NNTPSpooler.java:200)
| at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536)
| NNTP Server Started plain:119
xterm B:
| $ telnet localhost 4555
| Trying 127.0.0.1...
| Connected to localhost.
| Escape character is '^]'.

| Connection closed by foreign host.
xterm A (continued):
| MailboxDir TO WRITE TO var/mail/mailboxes/user/peter
| MailboxDir TO WRITE TO var/mail/mailboxes/user/peter/INBOX
| Exception: null
| java.lang.NullPointerException
| at org.apache.james.imapserver.FileMailbox.getNextUID(FileMailbox.java:460)
Cause: highestUID in FileMailbox.java was not initialised.
Remark:
I don't quite understand why highestUID is static.
This prevents configuration of the FileStoreHighestUID location.
My reading of RFC 2060 (2.3.1.1) is that global uniqueness (across
all mailboxes) is unnecessary.

Yeah, I'd guess there are probably about a half-dozen that I approved as
a moderator that were successfully reposted already... I wasn't sure
which were messages were duplicated, so I err'd on the side of duplicate
posts.

This was initially posted on Sunday, and just came through (again) today.
The received header shows that it was just delivered from Jakarta:
Received: from nagoya.betaversion.org (host-131-49-18-192.iplanet.com

Is anyone else seeing old, duplicate e-mails on multiple jakarta lists
today?
