using James MailServer to Create a MailingSystem deplayed on Glassfish

Question

I am attempting to make a mailing system using a local mailserver (Apache James Mailserver), also using the JavaMail and JFA APIs Can i do that ? any body has an idea about the ideal way to accomplish such a goal?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do that. Yes, it's a lot of work. If you want to do most of the work yourself, you can find some simple example programs on the JavaMail project page. You'll find some more complete programs on the JavaMail third party products page.

Answer 2

You probably can. Apache James comes packaged as a WAR, but you will have to build it. Just get the sources from [1] with SVN or git [2]. Build them with Maven and check under app/target directory. You will see a WAR file along with the normal standalone, zip packaged distribution.
