JBMail And Auto Execute of Executable Service Method

[thorntond]

Hi,

I would like to have the container execute an execute method in the jbmail MBean every x minutes. How do you configure an MBean so an executable method is executed after a certain time interval? I tried adding a thread to jbmail to do this but I had an error connecting to mail from inside the thread.
The purpose of this is so that jbmail will fetch and process mail every x minutes.

the problem of JBMail, it is that there is no development for now, so when HEAD is going to move again, who is going to maintain that ?

Using javamail provides a solution that does need maintenance.

Yes, JBMail currently won't compile and is not up to date with the rest of CVS Head. I updated JBMail to use java mail for a POP3 server and I brought JBMail up to date with CVS head. I also made a bug fix in the bb module to get it working. When I'm done I'll send Thomas the files and let him give it a try.

you need to setup a timer for this. check the rss module, it sets one to refresh the feed data at specific intervals. i think the bb module does this as well.

you could probably add this timer directly to the jbmail mbean and have it be a configurable attributte, etc.

try to use the scheduler provided with JBoss :

I should have this ready to check into CVS within the next couple of days. Basically, the updates will make JBMail get mail from the POP3 account configured in mail-service.xml and post to the message forums. It follows the logic that was already in JBMail. I also added some extra functionality so the message forums can work like a mailing list. I'll need a CVS developer password for check in plus I can update a wiki on how to make this work. Is there a volunteer to review and test this before checking in?

I can try it if you want.

Just wondering, are you using a header line to keep track of the message ?

You can send that to me (theute users.sourceforge.net)

Would be neat if you can send me a patch against the current HEAD.

is it using JBMail or not ? we need for a solution which uses javamail to fetch emails for a pop3box. The JBMail project is not active at the moment and it is not usable in production.
