JCA adaptor for incoming and outgoing mail using JBoss Mail Server ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBMAIL-38 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMAIL-38 Project: JBoss Mail ** Closed - moved to http://buni.org ** Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Andrew Oliver Priority: Critical Original Estimate: 1 week Remaining Estimate: 1 week A JCA adaptor for generic use of the mail server should be created for both sending and retrieving mails. The following are conceptual interfaces. Context ctx = new InitialContext(); MailServer svr = (MailServer)ctx.lookup("java://mail/Server"); if (svr.checkMail();) { // current associated JAAS user is assumed int ids[] = svr.getMailIds(); for (int k =0; k < ids.length; k++) { System.out.println("reading mail "+ids[k]); Mail mail = srv.getMail(ids[k]); MailHeaders headers = mail.getHeaders(); InputStream stream = mail.getBody(); printHeaders(headers); printBody(stream); } } MailUserContext muc = new MailUserContext("user","password"); svr.setUser(muc); if (svr.checkMail(muc)) { int ids[] = svr.getMailIds("foldername"); ... } Mail[] mail = svr.findMail("where SUBJECT like 'I like AOP' and FROM like 'bburke'); For the first edition I do not want to support searching in bodies. Mail mail = new Mail(); mail.setContentType("text/plain"); mail.setBody("I like cheese."); mail.setTo(&quot;&lt;you(a)wherever.com&gt;&quot;); mail.setFrom(&quot;&lt;me(a)here.com&gt;&quot;); // should follow validate-identity rules (when enabled) for validating the JAAS user against the From. svr.sendMail(mail); svr.fetch("folder"); // force a fetchmail to happen for the current authenticated user and block until it returns (if the user/folder aren't configured to fetchmail from external server then this should probably return without error) svr.fetchAsynch("folder"); //suggest that the server run a fetchmail and return For a later revision I want an inbound/event driven version as well.
