create user accounts in apache james with java api

Question

I need add new users in Apache James mail server using Java API, but in the whole internet there is not any example of how to use it. Only this http://james.apache.org/server/2.3.1/adding_users.html with Java mail API you can send mail to Apache James mailbox read messages, but only that.

String user = "user";  // Newly created user on JAMES  
String password = "user"; // user password  

String fromAddress = "user@localhost"; // newlycreateduser@localhost   
String toAddress = "usver@gmail.com";


// Create a mail session  
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "localhost");
properties.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");
properties.put("mail.smtp.username", user);
properties.put("mail.smtp.password", password);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, null);

try
{
    Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromAddress));
    message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(toAddress));

    message.setSubject("Email from our JAMES Server");
    message.setText("Hello world again and again");
    Transport.send(message);

    System.out.println("Email sent successfully");
}
catch (MessagingException e)

{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Anybody know or used James Java API? Any examples?

Here is the equivalent java code:

public static void main(String [] args){

    addUser(args[0]);
}

static void addUser(String email){
    try{
        String serverUrl = "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/jmxrmi";
        String beanNameUser = "org.apache.james:type=component,name=usersrepository";
        String beanNameDomain = "org.apache.james:type=component,name=domainlist";

        MBeanServerConnection server = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(new JMXServiceURL(serverUrl)).getMBeanServerConnection();

        UsersRepositoryManagementMBean userBean =  MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(server, new ObjectName(beanNameUser), UsersRepositoryManagementMBean.class, false);
        DomainListManagementMBean domainBean =  MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(server, new ObjectName(beanNameDomain), DomainListManagementMBean.class, false);

        if(domainBean.containsDomain(email.split("@")[1])
                && !userBean.verifyExists(email)){
            System.out.println("creating email : "+email );
            userBean.addUser(email,"password");
        }else{
            System.out.println("domain does not exist or user already exists !!");
        }

    }catch (Exception e){
        System.out.println("Something went wrong");
    }
}

I'm using same code but I'm unable connect with james server. Getting this exception. `server.java.io.IOException: Failed to retrieve RMIServer stub: javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException [Root exception is java.rmi.ConnectException:` — Parth Solanki, Mar 27 '18 at 17:36
Do your James server use the same port 9999 on localhost. Serverurl may need to be adjusted. — zaki benz, Mar 28 '18 at 05:20

You may need to use Runtime.exec to call the James adduser command. If you want to do that remotely, you'll need a Java telnet or ssh client to connect to the server where James is running.

I understand what I should use apache james api, build from source and use JPA functionality.

Hi this module will help you in doing so as this is in groovy so Please change "def" to desired Datatye/object of a class this is just for a idea but it require effort to convert this to JAVA code.

    def addUserToJames(String email){
    try{
        def serverUrl = 'service:jmx:rmi://localhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/jmxrmi'
        String beanNameUser = "org.apache.james:type=component,name=usersrepository"
        String beanNameDomain = "org.apache.james:type=component,name=domainlist"
        def server = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(new JMXServiceURL(serverUrl)).MBeanServerConnection
        def userBean = new GroovyMBean(server, beanNameUser)
        def domainBean = new GroovyMBean(server, beanNameDomain)
        if(!domainBean.containsDomain(email.split('@')[1])){
            domainBean.addDomain(email.split('@')[1])
        }
        userBean.addUser(email,'Welcome123!')
    }catch (Exception e){
        println "Something went wrong"
    }
}
