RE: SMTP transport API

[Arvind Gudipati <Ar...@PANACYA.com>]

Though it seems unlikely that im going to use the SMTP as transport, i'd be
glad to have a copy of the same. 

Im planning to add some more admin pages and functionality to the Apache
Soap Server, which include listing of all the instances of a particular
service class (including both which are scoped SESSION and APPLICATION).

 Currently the admin jsp pages only allow listing of the deployed service
descriptions and undeployment of the same!

I've been fooling with the SMTP binding over the past few days, Arvind.  Net
result is that it's raw, probably more of a proof of concept than anything.

For example, javadoc is scant, documentation is sometimes inaccurate, when
you
send a message your thread blocks for the response from the pop3 mailbox
read
(i.e. you can't do asych processing), the SOAPaction header isn't used, the
exception stack trace is useless because of the aggressively event oriented
control flow, and the source is hard to read in places (e.g. in the
constructor
for SOAPSMTPConnection).  Overall the problem is that the coding style is
too
personal to support easy patching.

It was pretty trivial to rewrite the SMTP/SOAP bridge (for my own use), and
I
will probably end up doing the same for SOAPSMTPConnection.  If you want a
copy
of the source let me know.

best,
Lucas

Hi all,

     There seems to be not enough documentation for SOAP SMTP transport API.

     Has anyone tested the SMTP transport API ?
     Are there any known issues with SMTP transport API?

thnx,
Arvind
