Guice-JPA installation guide

Building

Requirements

  • Java 11 SDK
  • Maven 3 (optional)

Download the artifacts

Download james-jpa-guice-3.8.1.zip from the download page and deflate it.

(alternative) Building the artifacts

An usual compilation using maven of this Git repository content will produce two artifacts into server/container/guice/jpa-guice/target directory:

  • james-server-jpa-guice.jar
  • james-server-jpa-guice.lib

You can for example run in the base of this git repository:

mvn clean install

To run james, you have to create a directory containing required configuration files.

James requires the configuration to be in a subfolder of working directory that is called conf. You can get a sample directory for configuration from server/apps/jpa-app/sample-configuration. You might need to adapt it to your needs.

Running

James Launch

Edit the configuration to match your needs.

You also need to generate a keystore in your conf folder with the following command:

$ keytool -genkey -alias james -keyalg RSA -keystore conf/keystore

Once everything is set up, you just have to run the jar with:

$ java -javaagent:james-server-jpa-guice.lib/openjpa-3.2.0.jar \
    -Dlogback.configurationFile=conf/logback.xml \
    -Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 \
    -Dworking.directory=. \
    -jar james-server-jpa-app.jar
