Re: Display non-mailbox as items from finders Eric Charles Thu Feb 16 06:00:21 2012

OK, So add a Item class in the datamodel, implement the Item persistence in the mailbox-impl of your choice, hack the List processor to return the item list (you can create Item MailboxManager.getItems()), hack (Un)Subscribe to create/delete the mailbox upon (Un)Subscription. 

Does it make sense?

Do you expect that the list of items to be proposed to the end user (let's say 
for example via a the 'Subscribe' menu of the mail client), or will the 
end-user have another tool to subscribe.

This can make some difference in your implementations, because in the first 
case, the system will have to propose a list of all potential items to 
subscribe to...

Thx,
Eric

My problem having it as a mailbox is that, there can be huge volume of items 
(ranging upto ten thousands of items) coming from another application whereas 
the end user may be interested only in a few of them. So, the end-user would 
like to see only subscribed items as mailboxes and not others.

Hence, my intent is to have the item as a mailbox until the user is subscribed 
to it.

Right now, I'm trying to tweak the store Mailbox and subscription managers to 
create mailboxes but store them in underlying storage(using InMemory storage) 
only when the user subscribes to it. Would this be the right way to go?

Interesting :)

It would be easier if the item can be a mailbox with a special attributed.

You could simply hack the (Un)SubscribeProcess and implement there some 
specific changes in doProcessRequest to change the value of the new 
Mailbox.isItem.

Or if you want to decouple things, something like:
- add an attribute 'isItem' on the mailbox model.
- define a MailboxSubscriptionEvent and MailboxUnsubscriptionEvent
- let the SubscribeProcessor generate a MailboxSubscriptionEvent
- let the UnsubscribeProcessor generate a MailboxUnsubscriptionEvent
- implement more machinery for a SubscriptionListener*, such as the 
MailboxListener.
- implement the logic in the SubscriptionListener to create/delete
upon

Now if you want an Item to be completely different of a Mailbox, you need to 
implement an additional data model, and impact many other stuff on mailbox/imap 
levels.

Eric

thx, is 'item' synonymous to 'mailbox'?

Eric,
Let me explain the requirement to you completely
1) Display a list of items (without having to create them as mailboxes) from an 
application.
2) The mailbox should be created only when the user subscribes to that item.
3) The mailbox should be deleted when the user unsubscribes the item (i.e.) it 
should again appear as a normal item in the list of folders.

Please let me know the changes to be done to serve this purpose.

Hi,

A mailbox folder is only created when there is a request to access it.

To implement what you describe, you would hack the ListProcessor sources, 
rather than the MailboxMapper.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/imap/trunk/processor/src/main
/ j ava/org/apache/james/imap/processor/ListProcessor.java

But it depends of your context: are you willing to integrate mailbox in a 3rd 
party application, or leave it in James server?

Thx, Eric

The mailbox should be created only when the user subscribes for it.
Please let me know the logic to implement the same.
