Configuring JBoss Email Services

[rmchugh]

I followed the Wiki guide for setting up the email services but I'm still getting alot of complaints from jboss.

Basically all I understand is.

1. Compile the source with ant
2. Take the ear and drop it in the folder of the server/xxx/deploy/
Note: our project is not using the default server but our own server
3. The Wiki mentions two queues that need to be added to the configuration file in order for the server to work. It doesn't mention the dependencies to this file or any other configuration parameters that are required to initialize the email server.

Regardless, after following the directions on the Wiki, the system is still not configured properly. Does anyone know of any documentation or resources that would provide step by step information in configuring this email server on a custom server.

Thanks,

Rob

I just dropped it in the default deploy folder and everything worked fine. Looks like something we've reconfigured on our end.

Can't imagine what that could be. What about the default configuration files does the mail services need to work? What does it rely on?

jboss/server/default/deploy/mail.ear/mail.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml and
jboss/server/default/deploy/mail.ear/entitymailbox.jar/META-INF/jboss.xml

The first configures services, the second configures ejbs. If you're configuring ports, the server name (particularly important), etc then you edit the service descriptor. If you want to tweak the persistence (enable caching, eager loading, etc) then tweak the jboss.xml. If you need a hand, post your config, tell us what database, servername, etc. I can help you tweak it for example. I'll take a look at the wiki page so far as creating the JMS queues...

Hello all,
Sacha Labourey and I have written a companion workbook to O'Reilly's "EJB 3rd Edition" by Richard Monson-Haefel. It will be published sometime in October and we would really like some feedback! Please refrain from grammar and spelling mistakes, since our editor will handle these sort of things.

I have created a Forum thread to discuss feedback on the workbook at:

http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ download a 1st draft of the workbook and corresponding examples, please go to:

http://www.monson-haefel.com/titanbooks/jbos30worfor.html

To use the book it is highly recommended that you also have a copy of EJB 3rd edition since the Workbook follows closely with the chapters of EJB 3rd edition. It can be purchased at:
