James repository mailets - Introduction

So far, a single mailet that supports Atlassian Crowd.

To use it,

• download the mailet, download the dependencies.
• unzip the dependencies and modify the crowd.properties
• install the mailet, the crowd.properties and the dependencies inside JAMES_HOME/apps/jamess/SAR-INF/lib
• make sure james will find the crowd.properties (verify that SAR-INF/classes is listed under the james startup classpath, inside SAR-INF/environment.xml)

    <classloaders default="default" version="1.0">
      <classloader name="default" parent="*system*">
        <entry location="./SAR-INF/classes" />
        <fileset dir="./SAR-INF/lib">
          <include name="*.jar" />
        </fileset>
      </classloader>
      <predefined name="*system*" />
    </classloaders>

• configure james to use your mailet

  Add a mailetpackage

     <mailetpackages>
        [...]
        <mailetpackage>org.coffeebreaks.james.mailets.directory</mailetpackage>
     </mailetpackages>

  and add your mailet

      <mailet match="HostIsLocal" class="MapDirectoryMembersToEmails"/

Upcoming changes

with crowd 1.3, we hope to remove the need of using a crowd.properties file.
