Re: James deployment
Hi all,
I am trying to implement a bundle with James and Bond and I am a little
stuck. So I am going to explain the situation just in case someone can give
me some guidance.
The Bond application is developed in GWT using Maven and currently has an
embedded Jetty. So that the pom.xml creates a war that can be deployed
directly.
I have seen that James uses Spring to create the ApplicationContext
injecting the necessary beans. So I believe that I have to make the
following changes in both applications:
- Bond: I have to modify the application so that it uses Spring and it
creates a jar instead of a war, similarly to this example [1].
- James:
* For Maven: I have to add the Bond module and dependency in james/pom.xml,
the dependency in james/app/pom.xml and the dependency
in james/container/spring/pom.xml
* For Spring: I have to import the bond-context.xml (the Bond Spring
configuration file)
into james/container/spring/src/main/resources/META-INF/org/apache/james/spring-server.xml
and I might have to add a new BeanFactory in the package
org.apache.james.container.spring.bean.factory and in the file
james/container/spring/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/loaders-context.xml,
if necessary.
Currently, when I add the next line to the spring-server.xml:
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/webapp/WEB-INF/bond-context.xml"/>
I obtain a BeanCreationException creating the
Bean org.apache.james.mailbox.MailboxManager in the wrapper.log. So
obviously I am missing something, but, since the log catches the Exception
in a completely different part of the code, I do not know how to continue.
Like I said, I am stuck. So I was wondering if any of you could help me, or
at least tell me if I am in the right track or there is a simpler way to
approach this.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Emma,
I would declare in the GWT app (Bond) the james sever dependencies and
create the james context on GWT init.
The jars contain the spring definitions and are loaded via classpath, so
it should work well.
If it doesn't, you may miss some dependencies (check you have them all)
- use also the latest trunk (hopefully will gain soon more activies).
