GreenMail v1.3 Released

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 23:39:00 GMT

This release contains minor changes to GreenMail core, most notable the introduction of slf4j for logging.

New in this release is a JBoss service for GreenMail. The service runs GreenMail as a lightweight mail server sandbox, nicely suited for developers.

Check out the project page http://www.icegreen.com/greenmail for the latest documentation!

Note about the released files (goto download page):

greenmail-1.3-bundle.jar : mvn upload bundle
greenmail-1.3.jar : contains all greenmail core classes
greenmail-1.3-src.zip : contains sources, javadoc, required libs, docs
greenmail-1.3.zip : like above, but no sources
greenmail-jboss-service-1.3.sar : deployable JBoss service archive

Changes:

Added logging via slf4j, replacing System.out.println
Minor improvements:
- c.i.g.AbstractServer exposes ServerSetup
- c.i.g.util.GreenMailUtil exposes sendTextEmail(...)
New JBoss service wrapper (see the project page)

Credits:
Marcel May added the JBoss service and contributed the logging changes. Thanks!

Upcoming changes:
For 1.4 we plan to replace the current Foedus smtp and pop implementation with http://subetha.tigris.org

Groovy vs BeanShell

Thu, 10 May 2007 05:38:00 GMT

Below is a quick and dirty test to compare the speed performance between bean shell and groovy. Bean shell is an order of magnitude faster. If you don't need groovy closure and other nice groovy features...just use bean shell. It's only one small jar away.

public static void main(String[] args) throws EvalError { StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder(); for (int i=0;i<900;i++) { script.append("res"); script.append(i); script.append("="); script.append(i+"+"+i+"*"+i); script.append(";\n"); } GroovyShell groovyShell = new GroovyShell(); Interpreter bsh = new Interpreter(); long t = System.currentTimeMillis(); groovyShell.evaluate(script.toString()); System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - t); t = System.currentTimeMillis(); for (int i=0;i<1000;i++) { int j = i+i*i; } System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - t); t = System.currentTimeMillis(); bsh.eval(script.toString()); System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - t); }

GreenMail v1.1 Released

Sat, 11 Nov 2006 18:59:00 GMT

Version 1.1 of GreenMail has been released!

GreenMail is an open source, intuitive and easy-to-use suite of email servers supporting SMTP, SMTPS, POP3, POP3S, IMAP, and IMAPS for testing purposes.

Please see the GreenMail Project Pages for more details.

Updates in this version.

Originally GreenMail was intended to run from one thread. Stephen Fenche has contributed code to make GreenMail thread safe
Marcel May has contributed a pom.xml
for all maven fans out there
The source code has moved from my closet svn server to sourceforge's . To browse the latest source see https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/greenmail
A couple of bug fixes here and there
A few class name changes. To avoid pesky name clashes with your (presumable) project native Util.java and com.icegreen.greenmail.util.Util.java, the latter has been renamed to com.icegreen.greenmail.util.GreenMailUtil.java. Same applies for com.icegreen.greenmail.user.User.java which has become com.icegreen.greenmail.user.GreenMailUser.java
Some updates and additions to GreenMailUtil.java

Outstanding issues I haven't got around to resolve yet

Ricky Ng-Adam has reported problems with SSL connections under IBM JDK 1.4.2

DisplayTag Paging

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 23:37:41 GMT

DisplayTag is a very versatile jsp tag library. It provides a whole lot for free. Paging, sorting, even / odd highlighting, grouping, exporting to PDF, Excel, CSV, XML, just to mention a few things it can do.
I use it in pretty much every project. However, I've yet to see a built in way to keep track of which page you were at last. In this blog entry I explain one general way to get around this limitation.
